Default Merge

Hello,

Is it possible to merge data in a excel spreadsheet to create a Word form?
The data from the spreadsheet will feed the form blanks, I think I am saying
this correctly.

Thank you all,

Susan

Yes. Instead of inserting form fields, you'd insert merge fields. An Excel
file can be used as a data source just like a Word table. If you need more
information on mail merge and data sources, see these articles:
