Can Form Fields from uploaded WORD docs become Sharepoint columns ?

Hello -

We are in the process of uploading many Word docs from Shared drives to Sharepoint (2010 )

Some of the Word documents have information stored in Form Fields. For Example : BuyerName & SellerName. These fields need to be used in SP for sorting, filtering etc.

We have tried creating columns on Sharepoint with the same names (BuyerName & SellerName) but the information from the Word docs does not display in the corresponding Sharepoint columns once the docs are uploaded.

Any advice on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated !
