Re: Word documents from records in csv file?

If I needed to have the csv file in Word format, I would open the file with Excel, copy the resulting columns/rows to the clipboard, then paste into Word (to produce a Word table), then save in Word format.

You could do everything using Word (e.g., using mailmerge, and sending the output to a file; or using find/replace), but using Excel as an intermediary strikes me as easier. If you plan to use the resulting file as a data file, in fact, you might simply leave it in Excel format, and not bother converting it to Word.

If you have a csv file and you would like to create a standardized word document for a record in the csv file, how would you do that? Can anyone point me in a direction to start reading? If there a way to set up a word document to pull fields for entries from another file? Or maybe there is another MS product to explore?

Thanks,
Susan
