Hi Jackissimus,

Word is not really suitable for this on its own. Although you could use a dropdown formfield for the customer selection, that would limit you to only 25 customers.

What you need is an application like Access that can hold many thousands of records and produce reports. Alternatively, you could use an Excel workbook with a dropdown like the attached, though Excel isn't as good as Word or Access when it comes to producing nicely formatted reports.
