There is no way you can extract specific data from a Word document. Some try can be made if the invoice format has specific structure, but i doubt it.

To do what you want, you need a script. One that would allow a user, to type in all the details required, store them in a database, and also store the Word document that you have downloaded from Gm as well. Then the user interface could be made in such a way that it would allow the rest of the features (as you select some data, lik eyear. color etc, a Ajax script searches tha database to see which invoices match that criteria, and updates a window in the side or the lower part of the screen). When all search criteria are entered, the window will be populated only with those invoices, and the user can select which one to see simply clicking on it.

This is not so easy an application, but neither a hard one. However, i don't know what kind of money you are talking about, i would expect (more clarifications are required) such an application to be on the $600 - 800 range
