In older versions of word, I would use mail merge to drop
data from a spreadsheet into a sql script. In the newer
versions, it is geared for actual address and letters.
Any way to do a mail merge for regular text?

Yes, it is geared for addresses etc. but if you have data sources that
contain field names that have nothing to do with addresses you should still
be able to insert the items in a merge using individual merge fields (ensure
that any dialog you use to insert merge fields has the Database fields radio
button selected rather than the Address fields radio button, or insert
fields manually using ctrl-F9 to insert the special {} and type MERGEFIELD
thefieldname between the {} )
