title: I want to learn to automate the creation of legal documents (in Word) using a template I possess
body: <p>I have a template for a legal document that I need to create copies of. While most of the legal text will remain the same for each copy, what changes is small counter-party related details (like name, age, address, contract amount etc).</p>
  
  <p>I am hoping there is a way by which I can store the changing counter-party details in a single (say Excel) file, and generate the copy of the legal document using a script of some sort.</p>
  
  <p>I am familiar with C. I don't know any scripting, but I think I can pick it up quickly. I am especially keen on learning Python (if that is the easiest way to solve this problem).</p>
