Way to 'automatically' change text between pages

So I have a certificate type thing that I need to duplicate, and put different names in. We're talking about ~80 names all in one excel file. Is there a way to automatically add each name to each page by using the spreadsheet or something else, just so I don't have to manually copy and paste every name?

Hello @Guilherme26667301vpge,

 

As @m1b stated, "it sounds like a good candidate for a data merge"

If you're going to need to export the merged pages separately look at the post below...

    Hi @Guilherme26667301vpge, it sounds like a good candidate for a data merge. Have a look at that, and also google tutorials, and I think you can solve your problem that way.
