Default Connecting an excel spreadsheet to a generic letter in Word

The normal method is to use Word for the mailmerge using Excel as the database.

For help on Word mail merge using Excel or Access as the data source.

You can use Excel alone.

See John Walkenbach's site for more info and a workbook.

I have a form in Excel used for product requests. I also have a generic
letter in Word that is sent out with the product request. The only change in
the letter is the name of the employee who made the request. Is it possible
to connect these two items so that when I enter the information in the Excel
form that the name is changed in the letter and printed when I print Excel
form?
