Not exactly sure how to word this to make it understandable but here goes.

What I am trying to do, is make some sort of function for word, so that whatever word doc/template is open, when a persons name is typed in their id# is automatically filled in in the top right corner. I have tinkered with mail merge, but it doesnt seem to be automated enough. I need nothing more then to type in the name of the person, and automatically have their id put in the corner.

Right now I have a list in excel of all the names and id's but am not sure how to get word to look through it and grab the id # and put it where it has to go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been struggling with this for a couple months now with no luck.

Thanks.
