Hi Paul,

A mailmerge can only use one source file - and the data all need to have the same arrangement. That seems to rule out that approach for what you've described. Any other form of automation would also require a consistent data layout.

Beyond that, you can copy & paste from Excel to Word, using the 'paste link' option to link the document to the Excel workbook. that way, any changes in the workbook will update the document.
