My team is about to go into a busy season of massive paper work in the next 3 months and i want to create a form questionnaire where its answers will occupy certain parts of our extensive letter template.



I want to know which of the MS Office programs will be able to do this and how this is done. I am somewhat of a beginner to word, but have a general understanding of its features.

example

name: Jane Doe
date: 89/10/1112
job title: Analyst
salary: $123,456
date of start: 01/23/4567


Hello __name here__, __date here__

Your started date as a ___job title here___ will occur __date of start here___. You will be paid __salary here__.

Have a look at Greg Maxey's blog here

I would recommend the linked Content Controls method

That method is certainly a valid approach, but personally I would create a userform to gather the variable texts and insert them either at bookmarked locations or using document variable fields - see http://www.gmayor.com/Userform.htm for the basics. You could use the same userform to write the values to an Excel worksheet to keep a record of the job offers that you have made.
