Is Excel the right choice for project
 
We are putting together a booklet that lists the community service work of
100 individual graduating seniors. We envisioned having an electronic form
for each student to fill out. It would list the student's name and give them
check boxes to activate for the different types of community service they
have completed. The data from these individual forms would update a master
spreadsheet where each student's information would be on one row. The end
result desired is to merge this spreadsheet with Word to print a document
with one paragraph per student. Their paragraph would have the student's
name and each of the activated types of service separated by commas. Can
this be accomplished with Excel or is Access a better choice?

Access is a better choice.
