[mso] Celebrate Success!

Hi All.
 
I finally convinced the "Powers-That-Be" to allow me to fix the process
for generating letters.  AND, I've got 3 months to do it! ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha.  If they accept my plan, the problem with getting the
list and values (1 to many)  between Access and Word y'all have helped
with will go away.
 
Here's what I'm thinking and would like your advice on.
 
We have 300 +/- letters most of which have common elements.  I'd like to
set up some kind of process by which the letters get created on the fly
according to specific criteria.  I remember reading something about this
somewhere and the author called it "boilerplate" but I'm not sure.  The
data in question will be in Access.  Graphics and formatting will be
involved so I'm thinking Word will be the best tool for merging the
records.
 
waddaya think? how can it be done? where do I need to start reading on
how to do this?
 
Thanks in advance and much appreciation for getting me this far.  It
took a HUGE chunk of nerve to even propose this solution and I wouldn't
have done it if y'all hadn't been so supportive.
