moving text from MS Word form into a Word template

[cliffordjf]

We use a MS Word form to collect information from our internal customers.
They complete the form then email it to us. We use that data to create
contract documents by cutting and pasting (or worse, re-typing) the
information into various contract templates. There are about 20 data boxes
on the form, and most are required information for to have to complete the
contracts. We have a number of contract templates and select the
appropriate one based on the situation.

It seems like there should be an easier way of moving data from one document
to another. Is there an analogous way to mail merge to pull data from the
completed form into a selected template?

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

(I also posted this in mailmerge because I wasn't sure of the proper category)
