ExcelBanter - inputting text on Word document using excel

Turn on the macro recorder in both Excel and Word. then perform the action
manually. Turn off the macro recorder in each. No combine the code. You
will need to add code to get an instance of Word from excel using getobject
(assumes word is open) or createobject. If you are using late binding, then
you will need to replace any constants recorded with the actual value they
represent.

hi
i wish to use Excel VBA to include/insert text from some data into Word
document.
the word document has the following simple format

Name: Number Login Id
--------------------------------------------
<name <number <id

<name, <number, and <id are to be inserted under then line
"-------".
If there are multiple <names, <number and <id, it will be inserted
under each other..
Name: Number Login Id
--------------------------------------------
<name <number <id
<name <number <id
<name <number <id
....

Is there some good guides or tutorials that can show me how to do this?
thanks.
