Easiest way to pull or enter the same info into multiple documents

I am looking for the easiest way to pull or enter the same info into multiple
documents. I have numerous different documents that are all produced at the
same time with the same variable information that needs to be inserted in
specific places in each document.

My idea would be to create templates of each of these documents and when
they open, a form shows up where the variables can be entered. After this is
entered the first time, it will populate each Word doc as needed. If these
documents need to be editted and recreated, the initial variable form could
be easily found and editted then the Word docs would update automatically and
just need to be printed.

Is mail merge the best tool for this? Would MS Query be a better idea?
What about creating the template with form fields?

I am not familiar with the MS Query or form fields tools which is why I am
asking this question. Mail merge, it would appear to me, would need to have
the wizard re-run each time the variables change.

Any help, suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you,
