Is it tabular data?  I just tried selecting an entire table in Word, 
then pasting it into Excel, and it produced logical results.  Maybe this 
would work for you.

Do you want to do it programmatically?  If the above works for you, you 
could just script Word and Excel through COM or whatever they are 
calling it now.  There are examples of this kind of scripting all over 
the place ( here's one: http://www.borncity.com/WSHBazaar/).  Not a 5 
minute job (unless you find a preexisting script for exactly what you 
want) but doable.

HTH,
