well, I guess step 1 will be converting docx to something useful, like plain text for example. There should be a script floating around for that.
Then you can use awk|cut|etc to grab the data you want and dump it in a csv (why excel??).

Then you're done.

Is each entry on its own line? If so you could save it as plain text, with the .csv extension appended, and import it into Excel as a comma separated values file. Each line will go into its own row and each line of text separated by a comma will go into its own column.

i.e.

Name, Address1, Address2, City, State, Zip

this will map roughly to:

A | B | C | D | E | F
Name | Address1 | Address2 | City | State | Zip

Then you can save it as an excel file.
