I am asking this more as a general question rather than asking for coding help. I see that this subject has been discussed in the past, but I am thinking there probably is a "new" way to do it, so here goes.

I have a Word document into which I have to enter calculated data (currently from Excel).

For example "32 widgets are required", with 32 being the calculated data. I would like to automate this so that I can just import the data. There are multiple categories that need to be created.

Is there a better alternative than Excel to Word? Would Sharepoint somehow be a better alternative?
