Excel macro to extract Word form data into Excel

Mate, you've been avoiding all my questions, but let me ask one more again. Why do you want to do this if you don't have any data already stored on word docs? Why don't you then rather create a form in Excel, it's much easier to pull data from one Excel doc to another.

It has to be a word doc with a protected form therein, that I send to people to fill in and return to me. I want to avoid sending them an excel spreadsheet.
