Try saving your data from WORD as a TEXT file and then open that file into
EXCEL. You'll probably have to parse it out again, but that should get you
part of the way.

If Microsoft Excel is not available as an option in your scanner "To:"
drop-down(isn't in mine) you could scan to a Text file then open that directly
in Excel.

Hope your OCR is better than mine.
