Automate tasks

Here's what I need to do: I have several Word documents that look exactly the same (a form if you will, but not set up as a form). There are only 3 pieces of information that vary from document to document. What I would like to do is automate the task so that when the user plugs in the first bit of information, the other fields fill in automatically. In other words, the one bit of information is the indicator for what the other 2 bits of information will be. My goal is to eliminate all of these different documents so that when the document is updated, 100 different Word documents don't need to be changed, as is the current process. Is it possible to use some MS application to accomplish this?
 
Sounds like a job for a UserForm. See
