I have a table in Excel with one column named employee ID Number.
I have a table in MS Word.
I want to enter employee ID Number in MS Word table and all other relevant columns populated from Excel table.
Is it possible?
If not, what other method do you recommend?
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
It probably doesn't do exactly what you want, but you might be able to make it work. You can use Excel as the data source for a Word Mail Merge. You would need to then format your Word table like a label. The Mail Merge would then pull all the data from Excel for all Employee IDs.
That may not be exactly what you are looking for but it's a possibility. If this looks promising there are YouTube videos on how to use Excel as a data source. I can provide a link if you are interested.

Thanks a lot. I can't watch youtube videos from Iran. I find useful links from Microsoft site for mail merge. Let me try them and I will write about my progress.
