Default Auto Fill Multiple Word documents

Hi Guys
I have 17 Word documents containing information which is sent to various recipients. While the main content does not change, the Name and address of the recipient does and needs to be on each page for legal reasons.


Is there a way around having to copy and paste the recipients details 17 times per customer? I do this dozens of times a week and it’s very tedious.
Is it not possible, as per Excell to have a = link so it auto fills?

Kind Regards

Yes. This is called Mail Merge and works very well with Excel.

You select your recipients and their information gets filled in automatically.

Default Mail Merge

Yes. Setting up your template documents with mail merge fields will let you update all 17 sets of info after typing the info once in a table and clicking a couple of merge dialogue boxes in Word.
