Default Folder template

Hi All,

I have a quick question and looking for some guidance.
at my work, we have a project template folder that we use to create hundreds of copies for individual projects. In each folder is several excel spreadsheets and word docs that need to be completed. However, each of them seem we need to enter the same information over and over again. Simple things like, site name, number, etc.
Is there a relatively easy way to set up so that I only need to put this information that is repeated in one file, a "project info" file, preferably an excel spreadsheet, that I can have all the other docs and spreadsheets to extract the data from.
I realize I would need to edit each of the individual files in the template folder to point to the correct master file. Just not sure how to do this and to make it such that when we copy the folder for a new project, that the docs will look at the right master file and not the one that sits in the template folder.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Stephen
