This task can be automated by using a programming language such as Python. The following steps are involved:
- Install the required libraries: Python-docx for handling Word documents and pandas for handling excel files.
- Identify the specific information to be extracted from the Word documents, such as a particular word, phrase or table.
- Write Python code to loop through all the Word documents in a specified folder and extract the required information using the Python-docx library.
- Create an Excel file using the pandas library and write the extracted information to specified cells using pandas functions.
- 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.
