Using information from the database, autofill in the template:

The stakeholders requested this again today... let's work on making this more understandable and doable for volunteers
Hm...didn't see this before I did #4036. Is that PR still something that is wanted?
Yeah this is actually what Howard wants most right now. @aedwardg
You need something that can run ms word
I have TextEdit, which allows me to see the file.

Can I use this, or do I specifically need Word?
@ErinClaudio you gotta be able to put mailmerge fields into the document to add sablon instructions. Like this https://github.com/rubyforgood/casa/wiki/How-to-edit-docx-templates---word-document-court-report
Thank you, @FireLemons I will have to pass on this ticket. As I do not have MS word
