Is it possible to say, have a single Excel spreadsheet or Word table for example containing a list of people and their data: name, address, contact number, date etc and then have various Word documents' titles and fields within, auto-populated in Form-fields with this data? Presumably, there would be a button to press to instruct the auto-population?

Mail-merge appears to allow one document (a letter) to be created multiple times with different names in each.
However, I am wanting multiple documents created with one name used across each.
And then obviously repeated for each of the other names.

For example:

Folder name: Joe Bloggs
Docs within folder:
1 Joe Bloggs start-up instructions.doc
2. Joe Bloggs ongoing work process.doc
3. Joe Bloggs completion actions.doc
etc

Then, within the Word document it will look something like this:

Start-up Instructions
Name: _________________
Address: _______________________________________
Mobile: ______________
Date: _________

These are the instructions blah, blah, blah.

With the empty lines sections being form-fields that would be auto populated based upon the name entered in the folder name.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
