Linking word and Excel

[joi2]

I have a problem I have a project due every week i need to sort out a bunch of tables that people send me. They pretty much have the same info in each table. first I trying to find a macro to link a word file to excel. And second I want to find a way to copy the data from a cell in word and pasting it in a cell in excel. here is what it looks like
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data Change Type/Application/Platform
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type: Power work, Platform: Power System (Data Center), Application:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software/Hardware Status:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impacts IT: No
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for example I want to copy the info after the : which is after platform. and paste it in a cell. can anyone help?
