Hello, The feature i think your looking for is called mail merge. I don't have access to microsoft word right now so i can't talk you though it.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Non Ubuntu help please- Add info from Excel into MS word
Hi Javed, Mail merge is definitely the answer. it shouldn't be too complicated to sort out - I've taught 13 year old school pupils to do it. Word has a wizard to help with most of it (Tools: Letters and Mailings: Mail Merge). You could, of course, also do it in OpenOffice ...
