Simple description of exporting bibliography to Excel and Word

I've been searching for a simple method or explanation of a method to export Title, Author, Publisher, Publishing Date and ISBN to a CSV file that I can clean up and then merge with Word's Source.XML file so I can handle notes and bibliography in Word.

Some of the problems I encounter are
1) Date field contains publishing date plus some time zone data. I don't want the TZ data.
2) Despite saving the file as an XML file Word tells me it isn't a bibliographic source file.
3) Author names has to be divided into first and last names. Don't know how to separate those.

------------------------

I have managed the export part, but it is getting it into Word the way I want it that frustrates me. So, technically, this isn't a Calibre issue (unless you can fix the Author name thing in Calibre). BUT, I'm hoping other users has gone through this process and can show me the light at the end of a frustrating long tunnel.
