Excel sheet to create a word document?

[ithican_king]

I wonder if I can make an excel sheet with check boxes that would populate a report onto a word document. For example in a medical setting patient exhibits a b and e symptoms. on the excel sheet a check box for symptoms a-z. The word document populates as paragraphs and says in detail the symptoms listed.
Any ideas?

You could do this kind of thing with a mailmerge, where the logic in the mailmerge main document tests whether a given field (column) is empty and displays/hides some conditional content accordingly. A mailmerge can process a single record (row) or multiple records, according to the options you choose. See:

I have a small project to send to you. Use it as a base for your project. It already does what you want but you would have to change the data to fit your circumstances. However, I don't see any means of attaching anything to my message. Please advise how to attach something or how I might get this file to you.
