Default Using 3 different fields, several times in same document but not en mass - should I use mail merge?

About 3 - 7 times per week, I need to perform the following functions:

Print a 2-page Word document that is exactly the same every time, but customized with 3 different fields:
  • employee name
  • employee number
  • amount
Employee name and employee number are each in 3 different places, and amount is in 2 different places on the document.

When using this document, I'm thinking that the ideal way to have it done would be to be prompted upon opening the document, for the three pieces of info, having the prompted info placed in the appropriate place on the document, then printing it.

Or is a mail merge the best way? The data source would only have one record, and it would change depending on how often the document is required.

Any thoughts...greatly appreciated!
