Hi all, would appreciate some help in creating a macro to do the below.

I have an online form sending CV information to an Outlook (2007) mailbox, I need to extract the data and create a personalised CV from a template I have been given. Ideally this would be in MS Word (2007).

I've seen various post's about extracting Outlook body data into an Excel workbook but am unable to find one explaining how to do this to word, so have thought to write an Excel macro to extract into a workbook and at the end of the macro copy the data into Word.

Below is an example of what the email body will look like, there are dynamic fields ie there could be more or less education/qualifications/jobs etc.. so I'm imagining this is going to be quite difficult to code.

I have intermediate an knowledge of VBA, but any advise is much appreciated as a little stuck on where to start with this.

Was thinking at the end of the workbook to add something along the lines of:

Any help/advice is greatly apriciated, or if anyone knows of any software which could potentially do something similar please let me know and I will look into.

Kind Regards

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
