Do I need a Word template?
No. Template mode fills an existing .docx. Quick mode builds a clean document directly from your spreadsheet headers and values.
Excel to Word document automation
Turn Excel rows into finished Word documents.
Upload your spreadsheet and Word template. doctagd maps columns to placeholders, lets you preview the result, then generates the full batch as editable Word documents or PDFs.

How it works
From spreadsheet rows to finished documents in three checks.
Keep your existing Excel data and Word layout. doctagd handles the repetitive field-by-field work while you stay in control of the mapping and output.
01
Upload the files
Choose an .xlsx or .csv spreadsheet and the .docx template you already use.
02
Confirm the mapping
Review suggested column-to-placeholder matches and preview one populated row.
03
Download the batch
Generate one named DOCX or PDF per row and download the files together in a ZIP.
Worked example
Inspect the files before you trust the workflow.
The starter pack contains anonymised Excel data, a Word template with placeholders, and the finished documents. Open all three to see exactly what doctagd changes and what it leaves alone.

Start with your workflow
Three ways teams turn a spreadsheet into documents.
Each guide covers one job end to end, including the setup that makes the next run faster.
Fill an existing Word template
Tag the document you already use, map each placeholder to a spreadsheet column, and keep the original layout intact.
Produce a whole batch at once
Turn every row into its own named file and download the run as a single ZIP, without a mail merge macro.
Write up form responses
Take the Excel export from Microsoft Forms and give every response a readable, shareable document.
Common document work
Use the files and document types your team already knows.
Template mode is built for fixed layouts. Quick mode handles form-style summaries when the spreadsheet itself is the document.
Service agreements
Fill parties, dates, fees, clauses, and signature blocks from each spreadsheet row.
Certificates
Create one named certificate per attendee while keeping the original Word layout.
Quotes
Generate consistent client quotes, including grouped line items and formatted totals.
Access requests
Turn form exports into readable approval documents without copying sixteen fields by hand.
Form-response summaries
Use Quick mode to create clean DOCX or PDF summaries when no template exists.

Recurring batches
Save the mapping once. Review the next export instead of rebuilding it.
A saved config keeps the template, expected columns, formatting, and confirmed mappings together. Upload the next spreadsheet and doctagd flags renamed or missing columns before they reach a document.
How saved configs workReuse the setup
Keep the working template and mapping ready for the next batch.
Catch header drift
Review missing or renamed spreadsheet columns before generation.
Preview first
Render one populated row before using the full document allowance.
When doctagd fits
Choose it when the output must still look like a Word document.
doctagd is deliberately narrow: structured spreadsheet data in, familiar business documents out.
Keep Word in charge of layout
Preserve your template’s tables, headers, footers, branding, and page setup.
Create separate files
Turn each row into a named document instead of one long merged file.
Check before the batch
Preview a real populated row before generating every output.
Avoid rebuilding flows
Save a working mapping and reuse it when the next export arrives.
File handling
Private uploads, with retention that matches the job.
Temporary runs
Session uploads and generated files become eligible for deletion after 24 hours and are cleared by a daily cleanup.
Saved configs
Templates you deliberately save remain available so the workflow can be reused.
Pricing
Start with a real document run, then scale recurring work.
Every finished document counts toward the same monthly allowance. Previews and failed generations do not count.

For automation builders
The API is there when the spreadsheet upload becomes a larger workflow.
Run a saved config from Zapier, Make, n8n, or your backend using Excel or JSON rows. The browser workflow stays the simplest place to start.
FAQ
Know what happens before you upload a real file.
The practical details that matter when business data and Word templates are involved.
Will my Word formatting be preserved?
Template mode keeps the layout, branding, tables, headers, and footers in your Word file while replacing its placeholders.
What happens if a column name changes?
A saved config compares the new spreadsheet with the expected headers and flags missing mapped columns before generation.
How are files stored?
Uploads use private storage. Temporary session files become eligible for deletion after 24 hours and are cleared by a daily cleanup; templates deliberately saved in a config remain available for reuse.
Is a card required for the free plan?
No. The free plan includes 10 generated DOCX documents per month and does not require a payment card.
Can I connect Microsoft Forms directly?
Not through a native connector yet. Export responses to Excel and upload the file, or use the API with an automation platform.
Turn your next spreadsheet into finished Word documents.
Start with 10 documents per month. No card required, and you can preview a row before generating the batch.
