From Docx table to meta in image?

I recieved a gallery from a client with 16.000 pictures. And he has *docx file(s) with a table inside that he grabbed the meta from before. (Not sure how)
The table contains 3 coloums. First is a number that refers to the filename from pictures (exept jpg extension)- second is the title, and third is the description.

He had this on a webpage before as a gallery, and the webpage grabbed the meta from these *docx documents. (Not sure how)

I now want to make a new gallery for him in wordpress or similar. Is there a way I can do that, or a way exiftools can help me write this meta directly to the images?

Not so great at commandline so I might need detailed instructions.

Thanks in advance

I don't know if ExifTool will be able to do what you want, but I can tell you more if you post a small docx file with an example of what you want to extract.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

It might be easier to copy / paste the table to the spreadsheet and then save that as a CSV file.  Then, possibly with some modifications, exiftool could then be used to read the CSV file.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Good point.  This would be much easier if there is only a single docx file.  I was heading off in the wrong direction.
