Text box dilemma

I have a document generated by an closed app using Crystal reports that sends out the doc as .rtf

This document when opened in word is full of text boxes - which in print, appear as a table with columns and rows. BUT IT IS ALL INDIVIDUAL TEXT BOXES.

I want to have it be just text so that I can convert text to a table to use this data in another spreadsheet.

If I save/print as .pdf file, then I get the text with 'select text' tool, but nothing between the data in columns - it squishes data all to one line with nothing to differentiate between one data set or another.

If I save to .doc I still have nothing but text boxes. I want to eliminate the text box but retain the text in the same position on the page. HOW? Any ideas?
