Hi! Question on data extraction steps for Word & PDFs

Hi folks,
Im new to this s/ware and trying to figure out some basics..... ;)

I have word and pdf files - theyre reports from various companies - what I want to do is to search for keywords (there are about 20 Im interested in) to find out the frequency of them.   Ideally, Id like to search the documents and pull the data into a spreadsheet - its very basic but I cant figure out how to do it... ;(

Ive put the docs into the folder, tried to extract data but then I get lost as Im not sure what to do next.....  if theres a quick step guide that would be great.  Apologies if this has been done but I couldnt find it.

many thanks!
