How to automate filling in my particulars

Hi everyone
I have job application forms (written in Word, of course) that require me to
fii in my particulars - name, address, tel number, job history, education,
etc, etc. After typing in manually into several of them, I was wondering if
there could be some ways to automate this process.  I may be wrong, (I am
pretty new in this), but can I program a macro as follows:
1) Where there is a table cell with the word characters 'name' or heading
'name', the macro will fill in my name, Harrris.
2)Where there is a table cell with the word 'address', the macro will fill
in my address.
3) Where there is a table cell with the word characters 'transcripts', the
macro will fill in my subjects and grades in the appropriate cells within the
cell, and so on.

I think you might know what I am getting at, although I believe, the macro
program can be more complicated depending on the nature of the document and
how it was created/formatted by the creator.  Anyway, take it that the
creater is a simple very ground level Word user who created the forms using
simple tables, if this is possible, any advice or help to get me started on
this macro, would be very much appreciated, as I am getting pretty tired of
typing, copy and paste.  

Thanks, Harris

It would be almost impossible to create a solution that would work with
disparate forms. If you are filling in repetitive information investigate
autotext and autocorrect both of which will work in form fields.
