    Hello All,

    I want one customization in MSD CRM 2011.Let me know if this is possible or not.

    If it is then Please let me know the Suggestions and helpful links for the same.

    I want one Word Document to be attached with one CRM Entity and want to fill Dynamic Data of that Entity in that Document.

    As Example, I want to do an Agreement with Qualified Lead, then at the time of Lead Qualification that Word document should be filled with the Required Dynamic Data of that Lead.

    Any help would be Appreciated.

    The only way you can do this out of the box is to perform a Microsoft Word Mail Merge.

    You will need a third party solution to do anything more.

    Unfortunately you can't use Mail Merge through a Plugin -  if you are OnPrem, you could use Reporting Services to generate a report as Word - http://ankit.inkeysolutions.com/2012/11/dynamics-crm-2011-creating-e-mail.html
