[AccessD] Access to Word

Well, at the risk of repeating myself...if anyone remember my attempt to do this, back in December...I have never created a form in Word and passed to it, data from an Access DB...and now I have a need to do such a thing. I "got around" this, back then, by actually creating the whole document as an Access report, as I was guided to do, by several list members here. This was fantastic advice, and it was great in that circumstance...however, it just isn't in the cards on this project. 
 
I immediately tried doing this, but the header, of all things, prevents me from going this way...the logo just looks awful, when done in Access...don't know why, it just does. I don't have the time to do anything w/this, and don't know if I could anyhow, so I'm going to go ahead and try doing this w/Word. 
 
My 1st question...is a mail merge what I am looking at doing? I'm only looking to create a single document at a time...a certificate...that I will be using a query to gather. The user will enter information on a student, and they will then print a certificate for that student. The query choose one single student, based on the record currently active in the form.
 
I'm following instructions for a mail merge, but I get to a point where it wants my list of "recipients." I don't really have this, I simply have data, and I want to create one single document at a time, using this data. 
 
Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Should I be looking at something else, or is it indeed a mail merge, that I am trying to do?
 
Thanks ahead of time...J Clark
