MS ACCESS HELP-Status Reports Forms

I am currently in charge of monitoring my divisions weekly status reports. At the end of each week everyone in my division sends me their status report in word format. It is my job to take all of the status reports and make a status report summary.

As of right now, its been a cut and paste job. I would really like to use Microsoft Access to automate this process by creating some type of form, to make it much more organized and uniform. Anyone, PLEASE adivise me on how i should go about accompolishing this, given my limited MS Access knowledge. Secondly, are there any templates out there that resemble, or are similar to what I am suggesting.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks
