Steve,

I am just dipping my toes in the water leaning to connect Word data to
Excel.  Something like this might work where the sample form has three
fields per record.  Change "C" according to the number of fields you will
use.  The first row of the spreadsheet is for the column headings.

Sub ExportToExcel()
Dim oXL As Excel.Application
Dim oWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim myWB As String
Dim oFF As FormField
Dim i As Long
myWB = "C:\myExportBook1.xls"
Set oXL = New Excel.Application
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Set oWB = oXL.Workbooks.Open(FileName:=myWB)
Set oSheet = oWB.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = oSheet.Cells(oSheet.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
i = 1
For Each oFF In ActiveDocument.FormFields
   oSheet.Cells(LastRow + 1, i).Value = oFF.Result
   i = i + 1
Next oFF
oWB.Save
Set oSheet = Nothing
Set oWB = Nothing
oXL.Quit 'Added
Set oXL = Nothing
'Excel.Application.Quit
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
  MsgBox myWB & " caused a problem. " & Err.Description, vbCritical,
"Error: " _
  & Err.Number
End Sub

Hi Steve,

see the posting above:
"Send data from Word to Excel"

Instead of the bookmarks-section
use something like this:

Dim oFld As FormField
For Each oFld In ActiveDocument.range.FormFields
  If oFld.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput Then
        MsgBox oFld.Result ' for testing
  End If
Next

I don't think there is an Excel-Word group
or a Word-Excel group. So for special challenges
you might have to ask here or in other Word-groups,
or in the different Excel-groups.

Though putting text from textformfields
into an Excel-workbook is no challenge.

Here are two Google Groups search results:
