Excel Novice Question

[PS_Columbus]

I create many forms and documents using MS Excel and Word. Many of these documents have same information that is repeated over and over again. I want to create an interface where I input this information only once and it creates all the forms I need as outputs (individual excel files, word files, pdfs, printouts etc). I have individual excel and word files that have the contents and formatting I want as output.

Is there a tool that does that? I want to make it easy and error-free to create these documents and since I have a lot of them it'll save tons of timeas well.

Any help will greatly appreciated.

<FWIW>
I do a lot of forms/manuals/epubs using only Excel and its SaveAs
option for PDF output. I find this generates much smaller PDF files
with the same content as would a Word file, for example. Also, Excel
has way more options for placing text/images than Word, and you can't
include separate chapters in a single Word file like you can in an
Excel workbook by using separate sheets for each chapter.

I can go on and on about it but I will only suggest that you scrap
using Word altogether and use Excel for all your forms design, document
layouts, and printouts to paper/PDF!
