Really new to word macros and need some help...

[DeanL]

Hi guys,

My employer has handed me a wonderful job of translating several dozen
word perfect documents into word. I'm fairly well up on VBA but there
is one thing I can't seem to do. In the word perfect docs, the
macro's call different "library" files that contain up to date
information about staff members and their roles, employee ID's, etc.
These names are listed by most senior first, least senior last and I
need to find a way to have by the users update these names as they are
at the moment and not by IT (me). Some of the word perfect macro's
use the information stored in these "library" files to partially
populate the userform that is displayed when the macro is run and
while I've been able to accurately reproduce the userfom, fields and
bookmarks in Word relatively easily, I'm not sure how to reproduce
this library file or how to reference it, or if this is even possible.

Any help you can offer would be gratefully received.

Many thanks, Dean...

Sounds like you should be using mailmerge perhaps.
