I am looking to see if this would be possible with limited development time. My HR department is planning on updating and collecting job descriptions for all positions in our organization. I am very attracted to the use of content place holders in Word to allow the HR department to format job descriptions in a manner consistent with our organizational branding. However, each of these descriptions will be submitted by directors in each department and therefore could come in with a blur of different styles (based on the preferences of the individual). What I'm hoping can be done is to make use of SharePoint, InfoPath and Word to provide an end-to-end solution for our HR department.
I would like to make use of InfoPath to collect the information about the job descriptions, including enforcing rules about data entry of the items. While I'm sure this could be accomplished within Word, I'm afraid the development time would be overwhelming for the proposed timeline. The InfoPath form will post the results back to a Form Library. This Form Library would then be used to contain the job descriptions that will eventually be converted into word documents within the template HR is developing. This is where I'm hoping to be able to leverage SharePoint lists (treating the Form library as a list) to complete a word document as you would mail merge. However, I'm finding that there is no way to use this data as you would a mail merge. Any ideas on how this might be accomplished. I'm trying to minimize development time, but I'm not afraid of opening up VSTO SE or VBA to complete my requirements!
Thanks!
