Hi, Bill

Read your message not long ago. Not sure if you still need help with this. If you do, you can try one of these options.
Both methods allow you to manage the clients within the same document:

Option 1 - Use outlines:
Switch to outline view by selecting "View" and "Outline" or clicking the Outline button at the bottom of your page. The Outlining tab becomes visible.
Highlight the name of each client. Then go to the Outlining tab and select "Level 1" for the "Outline Level."
Double-check that a "Body Text" outline level is set for the data/info pertaining to each client.
There should be a plus sign beside each client's name.
To only display your clients' names, select "Level 1" under "Show Level" in the "Outline Tools" group.
Your wife can double-click the plus sign beside any client's name she wants to reveal and modify its contents. She can hide the client's data/info again by double-clicking the plus sign. She can also select any clients she wants to rearrange and click the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons in the "Outline Tools" group. She can switch views at any time by clicking "View" and "Print Layout" for example.

Option 2 - Use bookmarks:
Create a page that only includes your clients' names, preferably on the first page.
Go to the page containing the first client's data/info. Highlight the first line of text on the page and select "Insert" and "Bookmark." In the Bookmark dialog box, enter a bookmark name, such as "ClientBobData" and click "Add." (The bookmark should be all one word). Repeat this process to bookmark other pages.
Once you've bookmarked each page, return to the page containing all your clients' names.
Highlight the first client's name, such as "Bob." Select "Insert" and "Hyperlink." In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, click "Place in This Document" under "Link to." Then select the corresponding bookmark, such as "ClientBobData" and click "OK." (The blue underlined text on your page indicates there's now a hyperlink). Repeat this step for the other clients in your document.
To jump to a client's page, press "Ctrl"+"G" and select "Bookmark" under "Go to what." Select the correct bookmark name under the "Enter bookmark name" drop-down and press "Enter."

By the way, these steps are for Word 2010, but they should be similar in Word 2007.

Hope this helps!
