I do stuff like that using Bookmarks in a Word template and automating their replacement.

Currently, my colleague did so many of these documents MANUALLY in Word. I'd pull my hair out if I had to do that, especially since I've got VFP. The trick here is to dynamically enter the names for each letter to an organization. Each organization can have 1:M names in this report.
The quick thought is a VFP FRX Report, using XFRX (or something else) to save the output to a Word document. And given that the text above the dynamic organization name and user names/emails part is static, I could do it. But like you've probably encountered before, I don't like to force the Line-breaks in the VFP Report Writer if I can avoid it (PITA).
So how would you produce these dynamic Word documents easily?
Flattened cursor for this would have this structure:
* OrgName * OrgID (e.g., P0135) * Name * Email * AcctType
That's it. User would select the Yes/No values and return to us. Task here is generated these 100 reports without having to manually do it (and obviously avoid the human error factor).
