Word documents from records in csv file?

S

Susan

If you have a csv file and you would like to create a standardized word
document for a record in the csv file, how would you do that? Can anyone
point me in a direction to start reading? If there a way to set up a word
document to pull fields for entries from another file? Or maybe there is
another MS product to explore?

Thanks,
Susan

If I needed to have the csv file in Word format, I would open the file with
Excel, copy the resulting columns/rows to the clipboard, then paste into
Word (to produce a Word table), then save in Word format.

You could do everything using Word (e.g., using mailmerge, and sending the
output to a file; or using find/replace), but using Excel as an intermediary
strikes me as easier. If you plan to use the resulting file as a data file,
in fact, you might simply leave it in Excel format, and not bother
converting it to Word.
