Importing from Word Documents into Excel

Hi,

Incredibly rusty user here!

I have and Excel worksheet, which for the purposes of explanation I'll simplify as follows:
- In one column is the name of a word document
- In another column, I want to include the entire contents of that corresponding word file (they're not massive word files)

So as an example, the file ProductA.doc would contain the text "Giant box of cornflakes" (they might include paragraph breaks)

Product Name	File Name	Description
Product A	ProductA.doc	Giant box of cornflakes
Product B	ProductB.doc	Tin of soup
Product C	ProductC.doc	Pasta

Any suggestions for how I'd go about this?

for Single Cell Import
Launch Microsoft Excel and open the Excel spreadsheet you want to import Word document data into.
Click the Insert tab, then click the “Object” button on the Ribbon.
Click the “Create from File” tab on the Object window and browse to the Microsoft Word document to import.
Double-click the name of the file and click “OK” to close the Object window. You are brought back to the Excel spreadsheet with the Word document merged into it. Note the cell text box below the ribbon shows =EMBED(“Document”,””).
Double-click anywhere within the Word document to open it, making it editable. You can perform all Word features here, even though you are still in Excel, such as changing or reformatting text.
Click the File tab and select “Save As.” Rename the current Excel spreadsheet instead of saving over it so your nonmerged version remains accessible. Click the “Save” button.
for Cell by Cell
Start Microsoft Word and open the document with the table of data to import into Excel.
Click the small hatch mark in the table's top-left corner, which highlights the table in default Word blue, then press "Ctrl-C" to copy the table. Close Word if desired.
Open Excel. Click the cursor into the first cell in the grid and press "Ctrl-V" keys to paste in the Word table's contents. The data exports from Word into Excel, with the same cell layout. For example, if your Word data was a table of two rows with three columns, the Excel spreadsheet now shows two rows with three columns.
