Anyone doing a clerical based job have advice on this?

I am me123

I have to compile staff contracts using a particular template on our office's P.C.

Anyone have any advice/tips on the most time efficient way of doing this?

I have one standard template at my disposal to use for all contracts, the employee names and job titles just need changing as required.


I usually copy - and -paste all headings from master template onto a blank word document and go from there, saving each under the employee name in a folder in the desktop.

Is there any quicker way to do this?

Thanks.

Yes.

Mailmerge.

Google it.

You'll need a list of names in an excel file, and the template in word.

Start mailmerge, add merge fields, preview and complete the merge.

That's a fairly simple way. You can also use macros to add text at certain points in a document, even to "save as" the file.... But mailmerge is simple and reliable.
