Like this:

' Excel module
Sub all()
Dim wdapp As Object, wr As Word.Range
Dim Wbk As Workbook: Set Wbk = ThisWorkbook
Dim Dict As Object, key, RefList As Range, RefElem As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set wdapp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
If wdapp Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "No instances of Word found"
    Exit Sub
End If
Set Dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set RefList = Wbk.Sheets("Sheet1").[C2:C16]
With Dict
    For Each RefElem In RefList
        If Not .Exists(RefElem) And Not IsEmpty(RefElem) Then _
        .Add RefElem.Value, RefElem.Offset(, 1)
    Next
End With
Set wr = wdapp.ActiveDocument.Content
For Each key In Dict
    With wr.Find
        If Dict(key) = "" Then
            .Execute FindText:=key & "^p", ReplaceWith:=Dict(key)
        Else
            .Execute FindText:=key, ReplaceWith:=Dict(key)
        End If
    End With
Next key
End Sub

Hi Worf, Thanks for assistance! This works in part and nearly perfect.

Only issue is; it only pastes the first line C2 (name) [stops]
Then click pastes second line C3(title) [stops]
Click C4(address1).........C5(address2), C6(postcode) etc

If you duplicate the process this works, but also replaces words in body of letter (name) and also entitlement becomes enMRSment.....

the address changes from 1/2/3 lines, so i can't replicate it a fixed number of times.

Any way to cycle through all at once, as original did - it found/replaced in order so always remained within letter head, with one full cycle C2:C16.

Hi

1) The new version below cycles it all, scanning the entire document.
2) I’m understanding you want to search only part of the document. Tell me what sections or pages you need to consider. Can you post a template with fake data?

Sub all()
Dim Wbk As Workbook, wdapp As Object: Set Wbk = ThisWorkbook
Dim Dict As Object, key, RefList As Range, RefElem As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set wdapp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
If wdapp Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "No instances of Word found"
    Exit Sub
End If
Set Dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set RefList = Wbk.Sheets("Sheet1").[C2:C16]
With Dict
    For Each RefElem In RefList
        If Not .Exists(RefElem) And Not IsEmpty(RefElem) Then _
        .Add RefElem.Value, RefElem.Offset(, 1)
    Next
End With
For Each key In Dict
    With wdapp.ActiveDocument.Content.Find
        If Dict(key) = "" Then
            .Execute findText:=key & "^p", ReplaceWith:=Dict(key)
        Else
            .Execute findText:=key, ReplaceWith:=Dict(key)
        End If
    End With
Next
End Sub

[TABLE="align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: left"]There are a few lines between each of these but they always appear in top part of page, (extra stuff that appears is return address/date/few instructions) only problem is main boday after "Dear Name"


Title First_Name Surname
Address_1
Address_2
Address_3
Town
County
Postcode

Ref:

Dear Name
------------
Massive appreciation for assist with this[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I have tested the above and works fine, no residual issues.

I wouldn't mind getting more into coding, any suggestions on where best to begin Mr Worf?

Before seeing your last post, I wrote another version that will work only with the first page, stopping when the word dear is found.
Concerning Excel and VBA books, I like the work of John Walkenbach, google him to find out more.
