duplicating redlined text repeatedly

[RPMitchal]

Word 2003

A project I have recently been asked to undertake involves recreating into
several separate documents, the exact same redline text from an original
document.

The ultimate goal is for all additional documents to resemble the original
document with the exception off names, dollar figures and other
miscellaneous information.

Other than cutting and pasting every occurrence of applicable redline text
several times over for each subsequent document using the “Spike†feature, is
anyone able to furnish a suggestion for different, less repetitive, less
manual way of accomplishing the same thing or something close to it?

Much appreciation in advance – RPM

You could try creating one "master-merge" document that contains all the text
and MailMerge fields where the changes would go. You'll need to create a
data source to keep all the relevent field infomation then. I would suggest
doing it in Excel. Just make sure that all your fields names take up the
first row and there are no blank rows between the field names and the actual
data.

Then you would use the MailMerge wizard to use your master document and grab
the change information from the excel list.
