Every two weeks, I have to go into 4 or 5 different Word Documents to change case files and clients' names. It would be really nice to be able to change only one Word Document and have the rest of the Word Documents change automatically so I can print the file. I use the same documents for each client and when all 5 documents are updated, I print them. Then, I clear the person's name and file numbers and I start the process all over again. Is there an easier way to do this so it won't take me all day?

Nothing wrong with Graham's suggestion. An alternative is to use:

There are several ways to do this, but my personal preference would be to create a macro with a userform to collect the data and then use the macro to open each of the documents in turn and write the data to bookmarked locations, docvariables or docproperties
in those documents (which would be reproduced with docvariable or docproperty fields respectively), then print and/or save them with the new information.
