Merge documents and activity plan templates

Merge documents are Microsoft Word documents with defined place holders, or empty fields, that are filled in with associated information upon merging. Merge documents can be added as attachments for activity plan steps.

When a merge document is added as an attachment to an activity plan step, the document will be merged automatically when the associated step is created.
