Hi joughin,

Have you considered using mailmerge? For this you'd create, say, and Excel workbook with each client's details on a new row, with separate columns for the names, addresses, etc. In Word, you'd create a mailmerge main document with a basic layout for each kind of report, linked to the Excel workbook. Then, whenever you want to prepare a set of reports, simply run the mailmerge, after which you can edit the output documents by adding/deleting whatever's needed to personalize the reports.

Other approaches are also possible, but we'd need more details.
