Find and Replace using Microsoft Word 2003 with a twist?

I am using Microsoft Word 2003. I have a document that gets used frequently and to insert names, dates etc. I usually just use find and replace or mail merge. I was wondering if it is possible to have some sort of sidebar in the document which has a list of the titles (eg. name, date) and a blank space for each piece of relevant information that will do the find and replace as the data is inserted?Find and Replace using Microsoft Word 2003 with a twist?
