Which version of Word are we discussing, here?

Have you ever tested Word's Letter Wizard? This does something very much
like you describe:
    - a form is displayed
    - the user types in all the basic information (except the body of the
letter)
    - the document is created, using this information, and formatted with
appropriate styles
    - the user can then type the body of the document
