replaceable fields

[theillknight]

I have some standard literature I use for several clients. In the past,
rather than rewriting the text, I'll just use a find/replace for the most
recent client and use the new client's name. Is there a better way to do
this?

Currently I'm making a standard template with [CLIENT] instead of a specific
client name just in case I leave in an old name...

Is this an Access database item or a Word template?

Is this a memo field being edited or a report with client's name?

This is just a simple word document. Text may read something like:

Our company suggests that CLIENT utilizes blahblahblah. The CLIENT project
manager blahblahblah.

This can go on for pages. So, in order to maintain data integrity I wonder
if there's a good way to make sure I do replace each instance of CLIENT with
the specific client's name. There have been instances in the past that we
sent the literature to Client A with a few instances of Client B in there...
not very professional.

Look up Mail Merge in Word. It can be used with Access database. The
database holds all the pertient data for the client - name, address, phone,
contact perfered name, etc. A separate records for each client.
