I have one document with 144 pages. Each page is unique and numbered (1, 2, 3, etc), and I want to label each of those pages with a set of First Name, Last Name, and ID number which correlate to the numbers on the page. For example, the top of the document will say "Case #1" which correlates to John Smith, ID#22201, then second page will have "Case #2" which correlates to Jane Austen, ID#22202, etc. The document is not the same, meaning everything else on the page is different text, so I just want to "label" each page with the unique identifiers. Possible in the footer of the page as the text is crowding. Not sure if I need to splice each document out individually? This is something that I need to do every few months with different identifiers (different names that correlate to the same case #s, so I realize I can do this manually - copy and paste the information on each page, but looking for a long term solution. I tried mail merge, but I am limited in my understanding, and I believe it has to be the same document that can "import" the identifiers onto the same text. Thoughts?

Suzanne,
Ah, ok then. Unfortunately this does not address what I am aiming to accomplish. Thank you though for your suggestion!

Hi Jocelyn,
We need some more time to test your goal. I will update this thread once I got any updates. I appreciate your understanding.
Thanks,
Neo
What we need is not time, but more information:
Is each page in the document in a separate Section (i.e. separated from the next by a Section Break)?
Is the requirement to end up with each page being a separate document?
Are the names and Case # in an Excel workbook (the Case # is not so important and long as the names are in the order required for the Case # to be applied in the correct sequence)? If not there, where are they?
Thank you Neo!
Doug,
Is each page in the document in a separate Section (i.e. separated from the next by a Section Break)?
-----No but I can add the section breaks if necessary
Is the requirement to end up with each page being a separate document?
-----No it is preferred to still be a single document, however if it outputs separate pages that is not a problem
Are the names and Case # in an Excel workbook (the Case # is not so important and long as the names are in the order required for the Case # to be applied in the correct sequence)? If not there, where are they?
-----No the Case#s are listed on the top of each of the pages in the word document. There are 144 pages in the single word document, and at the top of each page, it starts with "Case #.....". If it needs to be put into an excel document, I can easily make that, but not sure how it would correspond to each page of text as each case contains different text. The first name, last name, ID# is in an excel spreadsheet and ultimately paired with the correct case# with its unique text.
My apologies the previous response was not clear. I appreciate all the assistance!
