I would design this as a small database/web application.

Since you use ms WORD, you presumably have ms ACCESS as well, so it would be easy to create CLIENT and DOCTEMPLATE tables.

The next step is to make web pages to update those -Access can create these also, but you may want to customize it beyond that.

Now you are ready to create a web page that allows the user to select a client, and a template, then supplies a "Print or save document" button.

Lots of programming choices here - you can use MS Word's merge capibility, you can store the templates as BLOBs in the database ..have fun...

Offense, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and a fantasy.
By guaranteeing freedom of expression, the First Amendment also guarntees offense.
