    Default Not realy Web desigh...but....

    Hi Peeps,

    This isnt a web design question but a coding question.....maybe someone can assist?

    At work we have a shite load of Word Template Documents that we fill out, different forms, same date, name, address, blah blah, over and over. Very tedious.

    What I am looking for is a method to have say a EXCEL front end that we enter in all the required data for ALL documents and then the
    various document fields are auto populated by the data that is entered in the "front end" there by only having to enter the data in once and all
    documents are produced and can be printed, emailed, faxed, attached to carrier pigeon etc.

    Each set of documents are for a specific tasks so the data entered will change from job to job, Not all documents are required per task. So a method to select the documents per task to be created/autofilled is also needed.

    Hope you can assist.

    Regards

    Porkop
