Is there a way to click on a part number in a list in Excel that will open a
Word document that contains a form letter with the part number inserted that
was originally selected in the Excel list? I thought of hyperlinks from a
mail merge, but the list contains about 8000 part numbers.

You could use a Selection Change event to pick up the contents of a newly
selected cell and then execute some code to open the word document and
insert the value

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox Target.Address & " = " & Target.Value
End Sub

You could restrict the event to a single column or even a range ... or you
could manually execute a macro having selected the data.

I think the easiest way is to have bookmarks in the word document where you
want to add data.
