This task can be automated by using a programming language such as Python. The following steps are involved:

  1. Install the required libraries: Python-docx for handling Word documents and pandas for handling excel files.
  2. Identify the specific information to be extracted from the Word documents, such as a particular word, phrase or table.
  3. Write Python code to loop through all the Word documents in a specified folder and extract the required information using the Python-docx library.
  4. Create an Excel file using the pandas library and write the extracted information to specified cells using pandas functions.
  5. Save the Excel file.

Overall, the process will involve programming skills, knowledge of Python programming, and familiarity with libraries such as Python-docx and pandas.
