Default Merging data into several forms

Hi
I have a client who is wanting to enter certain information, e.g.
names, addresses, amounts etc. only once, but have about 6 documents
updated with the same information with a "click of a button".

Can someone suggest the best way to do this in MS Word XP/2003. Am I
better entering the data into an Excel spreadsheets (data source) and
having corresponding fields in the Word documents containing fields,
opening up each document separately and then merging them with the data
source? Or should I be doing something in Visual Basic - which, I am
not terribly familiar with. Maybe "Ask" fields?

Any suggestions anyone?

Cheers
Misso
