MS Word & VBA - Populating user input into a document (Word)

[tara99]

My question is in regard to writing VBA to automate things in MS word.

I have a template such as a letter to a business unit or some one which can be used repeatedly.
I have few fields in this letter and they have been repeated few times, what I want to do is to is to type those repeated words once only and want them to get populated across the letter.

I was thinking about to have few input boxes asking for those specific words, once the user enters those words and hit the button "OK" it will get populated.

Can any one help on how to approach this?

Many thanks

There are two concepts that may take you where you want to go.

1. Mail Merge - This is probably worth your time looking into. It may well be a full solution.
2. Application Automation - This is much more technical, but you'd need a good idea of what you were looking to do before you even start.
