I do use Mail Merge for this. Essentially it is a DIY case management system. I keep the data for many (similar) cases in an Excel spreadsheet. I use that as the data source. I merge standard documents with a single case record to form a draft document for filing with the court. In many, but not all, situations, the draft is the final document. In others it is fine-tuned to the situation.

I do not, but probably should, use a UserForm in Excel to populate the data rows.
