preselected terms?

[Guest]

I use MS Word mail merge at work as I have a paragraph that I am always
writing I just change some of the words based on test results. IE

"The predominant rhythm was _______________with a heart rate of ........."

I made a form letter then I fill in that data source each time and merge all
the reports and print them out.

My question is: Is there a better way? Instead of having to type:
"Supreaventricular
Tachycardia" or other long words like that each time is there a way to fill
in my results from a prewritten list or pull down menu or anything ? I would
love to just pick result answers rather then type them in everyday. Should I
be using a different program?

Thanks,
Take Care,
