Excel/Word ''Mining'' Macro

Macro/scripting to "mine" cells from a table in many identical word docs and deposit the results in adjacent columns in one Excel spreadsheet. Specifically: 1. collect the contents of 7 cells in a column of a table, across 600+ identically formatted MSWord documents and deposit them in 600+ adjacent columns (of 7 cells each) in one Excel spreadsheet. 2. in the resulting Excel doc, delete all cells with identical contents and compress the remaining cells so that there are no gaps between them. 3. transpose the results into 7 columns in the Excel spreadsheet. Notes: 1. The contents of the Word table cells are in Hebrew and need to remain in Hebrew in the Excel spreadsheet so that we can alphabetize them. 2. The Word docs are curently each in a folder, so I'd also like to find an automated way of opening each document without manually having to open each folder first. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
