Extracting Word form Data and exporting to Excel spreadsheet

[macropod]

I tried this solution "You need to 'enable' (excuse any misunderstanding there please!) the reference to the Word object from within the VBA window following Tools > References > Microsoft Word Object Library"

That 'solution' is nothing more than a re-hash of a comment in the macro itself:
'Note: this code requires a reference to the Word object model

But References is greyed out in my VBA tools menu, can some one help please?

That will be because you haven't cleared the error. Click on Run>Reset, then set the reference.
