Merge documents with Visualforce and/or Apex

I would like to use Visualforce and/or Apex to merge fields into a MS Word merge document template then convert the merged document into a PDF file and attach it to an email.

Anyone know how to do this?

Hey Mark, did you get a chance to go through the following thread: It shows how you can show a VF page as a WOrd Doc using:
<apex:page controller="TestMSWord" contentType="application/msWord#msword.doc" >
In this page, you can using merge fields to show the data from Objects.
