I've been creating my "reports" in HTML lately as a flexible, wicked fast way of producing output. With CSS you have great control over looks and layout. Images, no problem. Links, no problem. Content wrapping, no problem. Page breaks, no problem. The only issue is full control over headers and footers ... to an extent. It's what I use to create invoices with.

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).
