Hardly - this is an extremely nasty problem. If your Word bibliography is in plain text, then it will prove almost impossible to separate out the different components of each reference in any automated manner. My first approach would be to save as text and write a Perl script that separates each entry by commas - this might speed up the process but would probably fail for multiple authors and journals.
