If you have a list of the students, in a Word table, a database, an Excel spreadsheet, or even a text file, Word's mailmerge facility will let you generate a certificate for each student using your list as the data source. If the list includes addresses etc, in separate columns from the names, you can also produce mailing labels, etc.
