Converting Word Documents to an existing Word Template

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to parse information from a Word Document to an existing
Word Template? The goal is to take various formats of resumes and
automatically populate a standardized resume as best as possible.

Thank you very much for any help offered.

Word Template? The goal is to take various formats of resumes and

There's nothing really in Word to help you do this very efficiently. A
possibility would be to

1. Create the template file

2. Link each document to it (Tools/Templates and Add-ins - the field at the top
of the dialog box)

3. Then select the texts you want to use and create AutoText entries from them,
storing these IN the template (you can choose that from a dropdown in the
Insert/AutoText/AutoText dialog box).

4. Result: all the AutoText will be available in the template and can be
inserted as required.
