It is impossible to tell from your screenshot how your document is structured. Assuming all it contains after the heading is consecutive paragraphs containing the data with a single tab-delimiter between the title & contents, the following Excel macro should do the job:
Code:
Sub GetFormData()
'Note: this code requires a reference to the Word object model.
'See under the VBE's Tools|References.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim wdApp As New Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document, wdRng As Word.Range, wdPara As Word.Paragraph
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, WkSht As Worksheet, r As Long, c As Long
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
Set WkSht = ActiveSheet
r = WkSht.Cells(WkSht.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
'Disable any auto macros in the documents being processed
wdApp.WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
  r = r + 1
  Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(Filename:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  With wdDoc
    Set wdRng = .Range(.Paragraphs(2).Start, .Range.End): c = 0
    For Each Para In wdRng.Paragraphs
      c = c + 1
      On Error Resume Next
      WkSht.Cells(r, c) = Split(Split(Para.Range.Text, vbCr)(0), vbTab)(1)
      On Error GoTo 0
    Next
    .Close SaveChanges:=False
  End With
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
wdApp.Quit
Set wdRng = Nothing: Set wdDoc = Nothing: Set wdApp = Nothing: Set WkSht = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Function GetFolder() As String
    Dim oFolder As Object
    GetFolder = ""
    Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
    If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
    Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function/code]
The macro includes a folder browser, so all you need to do is select the folder containing the Word documents to process.
