Archived from groups: microsoft>public>mac>office>word (more info?)

I have word file that will be used as a training guide. But there is an excel
file that will house the heading information. Is there a way to keep the
information in Excel and allow users to auto populate word with the excel
data. Sample below. I want to auto populate Word with the follow based on
topic A. Is there a way to auto populate word?

Even if it's possible there's no way anyone can answer your question
responsibly without knowing what version of the software you're using & what
operating system you're using it on.

Yes, there are several ways, depending on which version of Office you are
using, and which version your users have.

You have landed in the Macintosh Word group by mistake. Sorry about that,
not your fault: the Microsoft website design is appalling!!

The PC Word groups are here:
