Microsoft Word does not have an option to directly save form data as an Excel worksheet. However, by following just a few extra steps, it is very easy to export data from a Word form to Excel.

A Word form contains fillable fields that make it easy for people to fill in important information. Typically, these forms are distributed so that many people can fill them in and return them. Collecting all the information from those forms and transferring it to an Excel spreadsheet is a tedious manual process. Fortunately, it is very easy to export Word form data to Excel using comma-separated files.

It only takes a few adjustments to your Word form document to save the form data as a comma-separated values (CSV) file. This file format separates each form record with commas. Use CSV files to import data into Excel.

Microsoft Word is smart enough to only save the form data to the CSV file. The extra text in the document is not added to the CSV file.
