I've done stuff like this (screen scraping basically) before.

What you can do is write a script (.vbs) that flicks Word open, creates a
new document, and monitors the clipboard.  When the clipboard changes and if
the contents are a certain type, then append it to the end of the doc.  I
think I've got one that runs in Word itself.

If you can wait a day or two, I can dig up something.

I vaguely remember commercial versions of this...
