Is it possible in LiveLink to auto create a document based on word \ excel template?

In LiveLink we can create a record by completing a form. All the metadata in the form mapped to a word \ excel template bookmark.

A checkbox will be made available to trigger a runtime \ routine. The runtime will create a document based on the identified template, pass the entered metadata into the newly created document bookmarks and attach it to the form.

Some points:
1. The process in not part of a workflow. It is initiated from the form itself.

2. The templates will be in LiveLink

3. Once the document is created will be stored in LiveLink.
 
Yes it is possible, but not without a little customisation, from the secription it is probably best to do it in either OScript or LAPI, do you have a preference ?
