You'll find mailmerge a lot less complex. It requires creating a data
source, but from there it is pretty straightforward. Otherwise, using
includetext works but it is cumbersome because bookmarks are very fragile.

what about a creating a 'master document'? Would that be easier?

If you bookmark the information in one document/template, you can use
INCLUDETEXT fields to insert it in the others. Alternatively, you can
create
AutoText entries and insert AutoText *fields* in all the templates.

I have created several templates in Word 2000. I wonder if there
is
anyway
to tie corresponding fields together so that information entered
into
one
template is automatically entered into all corresponding fields in
other
template documents?
Thanks,
Mike
