Default Formatting a Word Template using form for data entry

Hi all-

I'm currently working on a solution for our company. We use a standard Word letter that contains basic info such as name, address, subject line, etc...and then halfway through contains a list of numbered items. The same letter is used frequently, simply replacing the information specific to each project. As you know, someone that isn't very familiar with formatting in Word would have difficulty with the numbered items always staying lined up, or following the appropriate sentence structure so that it works correctly. Therein lies the problem. I spend HOURS formatting these numbered sentences for people. I just feel like there is a quick fix somewhere for the "not-so-tech-savvy" people to use.

Is there a way that, like in Excel, you can create a "data entry form" that will automatically place the typed information into the appropriate spaces, or is that an Excel only feature? I'm proficient in Excel, and fair in Word, but in my head I can't tell if it would be possible, even in VBA?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
