Default MSWord forms use list to populate successive text fields

I'm not even sure the proper way to ask this question. I have a billing form I use everyday, where I write in each client name, and then the remainder of the form is a list of commonly used billing codes. I just circle them. I have the billing document saved as a form, and each space for a name is a text field.

I have a list of clients, Client1 thru client10. I have 10 text fields in the billing document, called Text1 throughText10. I need a way to automatically fill Text1 field with the first name on the list, Text2 with the second name, etc. If the list were in Excel, Text 1 would be mapped to A1, Text2 toA2, etc. Is this an excel question, or a Word forms question? How can I do this?

I've toyed with MailMerge, but that seems to generate a single document for each text substitution. Any help would be appreciated.
