Default Automatically Inserting Email Subject from a Word Template

I have a Microsoft Word 2003 Template I use frequently to create an email
message I send out hundreds of times a day to my coworkers. This template
builds a letter to our clients and it populates the data within the letter
from an Access Database table. I then use the send button to send the
document as an email to the sales person who sends it on to their client. I
want to know, is there a way I can set this word template to automatically
populate the subject line of the email with two of the fields in the letter
body that I always have to type in manually? I usually copy and paste this
data from the letter and then type in the appropriate text to create the
complete subject. I'm using Word 2003, Outlook 2003, and although it's a
dinosaur, an Access 97 database. Thanks in advance for the help.

you want:
