Default Excel and Word Bookmarks


I am having an issue with putting text from Excel into Word bookmarks. I
have a Word template built using bookmarks. Each record will fill in the
whole template.
For example: I set up an invoice using a Word template and each field
of the invoice is a bookmark. Now say that each record (row) in an
Excel worksheet corresponds to a seperate invoice. I want to print out
all the invoices. So if my template is 1 page and I need 20 invoices
then my final product would be 20 pages long.

I have been filling in the template then copying and pasting it into a
new document. Then I clear and replace all the bookmarks in the
original template. Fill it in, then copy and paste it at the end of the
other document.

The process seems to take forever. Is there a way to make several
copies of my template in one document and then name all of the
bookmarks? Or something where I can just clear my bookmarks without
redrawing them. It would be much better if I could do it with links.
Any suggestions would be great!

Can't you make 20 separate invoices, one page each?

An alternative solution, which seems to work pretty well, is a mail
merge. I've never used it, but my wife uses it for our greeting card
envelopes every December.
