So which do you prefer to do - push from Excel, or pull from Word? Pushing data into headers etc is not at all difficult.

Rather than populating content controls directly, you might do better to use custom document properties, and update those with the Excel data. You can then use DOCPROPERTY fields wherever you want in the document to replicate that data. It also means that moving the output's location, duplicating it or even deleting it won't compromise your code.
