Data Extraction from Word Files

I have a txt document (or searchable PDF, if preferred) of a directory that I want converted into a spreadsheet with information in rows and columns like a database.? (It is currently in list form.)? The headings of the important fields are quite consistent throughout the directory, and the format is the same throughout.? There are 7 volumes to be completed; each volume is approximately 800 pages representing 800 or fewer entries.
