Merge info into 5 separate documents
I have taken over management of a program at a non-profit from my predecessor in title. I receive an application from a client from which I retrieve about 10 different items of information. I then manually type the same information into about 15 separate and different Word documents. I would like to enter all the relevant information in Doc 1 and then have that information merged into all applicable documents. Is this possible with Microsoft Works 2013 or should I simple purchase a specialized program to accomplish the above task? |

See http://gregmaxey.com/word_tip_pages/doc_bundler.html which should do the job, but for the fact that your header indicates the Mac version.

Which should be interesting on a Win 8 platform...
This is also the kind of thing a mailmerge could be leveraged for. That way, the data could be typed/pasted into an Excel workbook and the same data used for both the current multi-document requirement and any other needs as they arise.

MS Works? or MS Word?
In Word I routinely use Mail Merge for this task, putting the information into an Excel spreadsheet. It is pulled from that for a number of documents, not necessarily prepared at the same time. People generally thing of mail merge for a bulk mailing. This is sort of the converse -- using one record for many documents. It works well for me. Getting started is a bit of a chore. Once you have the information in your datafile, you perform the merge by selecting a single record for the merge rather than the entire set of records. I started doing this using Word 3 for the Mac quite a while ago. It has been more than ten years since I've used a Mac, though. |
