Excel + Word template

Populate a Word template from Excel without copying each field by hand.

Add placeholders to the Word document you already use, upload the spreadsheet, and confirm which column fills each field. One Excel row becomes one editable Word document.

A simple column-to-placeholder example

The names do not have to match perfectly. doctagd suggests mappings, then asks you to confirm them before it fills the file.

Questions about filling Word templates

How do I populate a Word document from Excel?

Add placeholders to the Word file you already use, upload it together with your spreadsheet, and confirm which column fills each placeholder. doctagd then writes the values into the template and returns one document per row.

Which placeholders can I use?

Template mode recognises {field}, {{field}}, [Field Name], and <<field>> styles. The mapping screen connects them to your spreadsheet headers.

How do I create a Word template with placeholders?

Open the document in Word and type a placeholder wherever a value belongs, for example {client_name}. Type each placeholder in one go so Word does not split it across formatting runs.

Do the column names have to match the placeholders?

No. doctagd suggests a match for each placeholder and you confirm or override it, so client_name in Excel can fill [Client Name] in Word.

Does the Word design survive?

Yes. doctagd fills the template rather than rebuilding its layout, so headers, footers, tables, page orientation, and branding stay in Word.

Can one template create many files?

Yes. Each Excel row creates a separate named document, and a multi-row run downloads as a ZIP.
