Populate a word template from Excel

Hi,

I have been looking around for a solution to my problem for sometime and have tried to use Excel2Word! but not had much success. I have attached example data on the file data.xls and an example of the template i want to fill on Template.doc.

The titles of the columns reference the same names as within the template.doc file, I would like a solution where i can populate the word document based on what cells i select from within Excel. For example how would i generate a filled template using information from row 4, 5 or 6 etc.

Thanks,
Chris.

Doesn't need to be word but im not sure what you mean regarding the new excel sheet.

The only outcome is i need a document i can send to a contact which contains only the information relating to that line in the excel sheet.

look at the attached file... your second sheet has your document...
save as pdf , or save as single sheet in a new xls, whatever you prefer

This is an ideal candidate for Mail Merge.

Running the merge creates a separate document for each record in the excel list. This can then be printed or sent as an email.
