How to autopopulate data from Excel cells to Word document

I have a pre-built Word form document that I use that has multiple fields that I fill out (customer name, dates, etc.).  I usually  copy/paste information to this document from other sources (Excel, Word docs, etc.). 

QUESTION: I need to create a way to automate moving the required data from cells in an Excel spreadsheet to the specific fields in my Word form document fields.  This can be via VBA, a macro, or some other language or tool.  Does anyone have the best, easiest way to create this?

Thanks.

If you are creating multiple documents at a time, then Mail Merge is ideal for that.  It can also be used for one record at a time, but a better option might be to create a template that contains a User Form that is populated with the data from Excel

See the following pages of Greg Maxey's website :

These are links to pages on one or more pages on my website and on Word MVP website(s). Those pages contain accurate safe information that I think will help you. However, as an Independent Advisor I am required to give the following notice when providing non-Microsoft links:

While for a single record, a userform is more elegant, I still use mailmerge.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or require further help.
