Change a name (from a list in a txt file) on a document, then print it.

[Julius Mong]

Dear all,

I am new to word scripting and am wondering if there is a quick way to
change in a document say the name on a certificate and print it? I have a
text file of the names that are to go 1 by 1 on to the cert for printing,
and I'm rather confused by examples found via google... I suppose I need to
put a field at the place where the name should go and have a macro / script
replace that each time with an entry from the txt file and print the doc?
Has anyone got some code that'd do similar?

Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance!

Julius

Read up on MailMerge -- that's precisely what it's for, and you won't need
any scripting at all.
