Another option that might be more convenient for a large table (to save you the trouble of counting cells) is:
1. If necessary, select the table in the the Word document and then copy and paste it into an empty document.
2. Select the table, then select 'Convert table to text' in the Table menu. In the 'Convert Table to Text' window, select 'separate text with commas'.

4. Change the file extension of the saved file to 'csv' (the 'native' format of Excel documents).
5. Open the .csv document and then save it as an Excel document.
The above procedure will also only work with 'simple' tables whose cells do not contain manual end-of-line or Return characters.
