Default Creating a form- mail merge

Hi there all,
Last year I worked at a company that used excel to do a neat job.

On one of the sheets there would be fields that one could fill with
information.. e.g.. name, subject, notes etc. It was used for project
contract letters. Every contract had a different number name and drawing
associated with it etc.
The information entered on sheet 1 would then be automatically included in
sheet 2 but all the information would have been in certain places and the
company logo was on the sheet.
So when sheet 2 was printed, it looked so professional.
Having this meant that the user wouldn't have to go though the letter every
time and delete edit information.. they just entered it on to a new for and
in sheet 2 all th variable information was replaced.

How do I go about doing this?.. I've been wrecking my brains trying to make
one but i'm having no luck.

If anyone has a sample workbook/sheet I'd be very grateful if you could send
it to:(delete the spaces) s h a y g l e n n @ m s n . c o m

Thanks loads,
Shay

If you are not processing a list, then it could be as simple as sheet2
containing formulas like

=sheet1!A3

or
=if(sheet1!A3="","",Sheet1!A3)
