Creating documents with variable text fields

$

Hello,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to create a document (in InDesign or other) whereby you can have variable fields (client data) that can easily be inserted throughout. 

 

Here is what I am trying to do.  In my business I have my clients to answer a questionnaire.  Their answers are then used to create a document that contains their personal info and questionnaire answers throughout the document along with other generic (non-personal) info such as our business process etc.  We use this as a means to document our relationship together and each parties roles and responsibilities. 

 

Currently, I am using Microsoft Word with form fields.  However, it's not very easy to use.  And when the text is inserted, it doesn't insert it inline (does not move the other non-varialbe text around it), so it doesn't look that pretty.  And don't even get me started about the design capabilities of Word.

 

I am sure that there must be a tool out there to accomplish what I am trying to do.

 

In my document I want the following:

 

- Client's name and address.

- each answer to their questionnaire.  (there are 4 or 5 possible asnwers for each question).

 

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be forever greatful.

 

Thanks.
