Merging larger blocks of text

[hollandrisley]

Hi, I have Word document (client proposal).



It has many sections which are static, then there are sections that are written from scratch each time.

To make it easier for my team to focus on each individual section, and fill in the blanks if you like, I have created a separate document template which has the key sections in a table.

I would like to merge the documents, so there are placeholders in the main standard document that get filled in with the text typed into the Pro forma table.

This is like Mail Merge but with multiple paragraphs of text being merged into each placeholder.

I don't know where to start with this and I can only find information on Mail merge which appears to be single small lines of data.

Is this possible? Any pointers or ideas would be really appreciated

It's not apparent to me why you wouldn't simply create a template with all of the boilerplate text in-situ so you users can add to or delete from it as needed, rather than trying to work from the other end.
