Client has two debts with her utility provider and about £10,000 of unsecured debt

becomes

You have two debts with your utility provider and about £10,000 of unsecured debt

does such a thing exist?

I think Word plugins are fairly unusual things. Not sure how easy they are to write

although, I think docx files are pretty easy to work with. Couldn't you just write a choose your own adventure book from scratch?

You used to work on the docks

Union has been on strike
You're down on your luck
It's tough, so tough
You work at the diner all day
Working for your man, you brings home your pay for love
For love

You say, "I've got to hold on to what I've got
Cause it doesn't make a difference
If I make it or not
I've got myself and that's a lot
For love
I'll give it a shot"
Woah

Isn't this the sort of thing that those bulk mailing bits of software can do?

You gonna use it regularly?

Just write a multiple find and replace macro and change the parameters for he she etc?

- and switch he and she with your
  
  but not all instances of your as some will not be specific to the perspective.
  
  And the rest.
