Word 2003 - help with linking

[terryann]

Hi everyone, I need help. Currently we prepare resumes for our employees to submit with quals to different agencies to win contracts. There are over 200 resumes we have to keep track of and updated. One of the pieces of information that needs to be current is the years of experience for each person. Is there a way to create something in excel that would calculate the years of experience that could be linked to that item in a word document so that when we update the excel spreadsheet all the resumes would automatically update. Along with that, if you pull the resume to email it to someone, will the information still be there for the person you are emailing the resume to?

Hope that wasn't too wordy and that I got my question across effectively.
