MACRO HELP

[LYNN]

I need to merge 5-10 data entries into legal contracts. Is this possible with
a Macro? I know how to do a Mail Merge, but this seems like the wrong way to
do it. What exactly is a Macro? This is driving me crazy!

Thanks.

It is certainly possible to do with which a macro, which is some
instructions written in VBA that are executed when the macro is run,
something that is not possible with mail merge itself.

You would need to give more detail of exactly what you need to do for us to
be able to tell you how to go about it.

I have approximately 48 words for multiple real estate legal contracts; each
deal utilizes around 16 individual contracts. I want to be able to create a
data source and make fields (which I insert into the document--like a mail
merge) and merge the data into the fields in one step (each contract into one
step if need be). Rather than continuously typing the data into 16 different
repetitive legal documents, I want to be able to merge them somehow. Another
paralegal told me that I could do a macro. Mail merge is working, but if it
can be done more efficiently, I am willing to set it up that way. One office
girl said that a macro is only used for lengthy paragraphs. Thx.

Reading between the lines, you may find either autotext or autocorrect a
useful means of storing repeteitive data for ease of insertion into your
documents. These are ideal for storing standard wordings for contracts etc
and ensure no mistakes during entry. You may also find
