Mail merge or document creation\populate via workflow?

Hello all!
One ideal addition to SharePoint would be the ability to mail merge, or create documents in a document library using say a template in the library but populate with content from a list. I had a go with workflow in WSS v3 using SP designer 2007 and it looked like you can get workflow to create a new item in a document library, but not populate it with content from a list. So close, or am I missing something?

I am far from a workflow expert but I think you have acheived the limit of the SharePoint Designer Workflows. You may have to put on your developer hat and create your desired workflow in Visual Studio 2005. If you find out otherwise I would love to hear about it.

Hi Shane.
Yep, looks like that is the limit of out of the box workflow with SP designer 2007, which is a shame. Hint to MS... mailmerge in the next version out of the box
Looks like you have to code you way around this. I've had a play and looks like you can extract the data from the list via the web services, create an rtf file and populate with the data from the list, then upload to a document library.
This was as a result of experimenting with something similar due to the way sharepoint designer breaks the javascript that allows you to attach a file to a customised newitem.aspx page (MS advise only way is via web services to create your own web page to upload files, so had to code it).
