Can somone suggest the 'best' {or a 'good'} approach, (while working in a
Word document), for reducing manually typed and repeated text strings that's
also an alternative to "copy and pasting" short phrases from a second, open
Word doc. that was being maintained as a 'product list.' ?

e.g. While preparing and working in an 'estimate' or 'quotation' type Word
document, rather than perhaps have two Word documents open at the same
time - e.g. the 'estimate' or 'quotation' type Word document, and a 'phrase
list' Word doc. ,one has to keep jumping between the two Word docs, to copy
and paste.

This is so hard to explain......
If I made a *.csv format ASCII file of my product list and imported it into
a database file, (e.g. an Access table), could one get that table to pop up
in a Word doc. so that I could scroll through it, locate a product
description, and get that product description inserted at the current edit
insertion point, in the Word doc. ?

Any thoughts muchly appreciated :-)

regards, Richard
