[ubuntu-uk] Non Ubuntu help please- Add info from Excel into MS word

[Joe Metcalfe]

Hi Javed,
Mail merge is definitely the answer. it shouldn't be too complicated to sort
out - I've taught 13 year old school pupils to do it. Word has a wizard to
help with most of it (Tools: Letters and Mailings: Mail Merge). You could,
of course, also do it in OpenOffice ...
 
Yours,
Joe

Hi all, 

Please forgive me asking a totally non ubuntu question here. I have looked
everywhere for an answer to this question but no luck. 

At work i frequently have to write up letters which get sent to various end
users.  The customer data is provided via a excel spreadsheet. 

I have just added links to the pre-typed letters to the spreadsheet so i can
easily access them. what i would like to do is somehow get the Customer name
and address details and automatically clicking the link be able to populate
that letter with those details. Hope this makes sense. 

If someone could help me out with this i would really appericate this.... :)

Javad
