MS Word Help!!!

[darrent]

This is embarrassing because I know some clever dick will know the answer in seconds but here goes....

I have a letter which I want to insert a name and a reference code into it so;

"Dear xxxxxx, regards you account yyyyyyy"

I have the xxxxxx and yyyyyy in two separate files (either .txt or .xls) and want to automatically insert these into the letter (over 1,000 of them!!).

Anybody?!?!?
PS I am using Word 2003

then follow the instructions on the right, it should be quite straightforward

Although you may need to merge the xxx's and yyy's into one spreadsheet first.
