Powershell: Create multiple files from a Word template and rename using a list in Excel/CSV (lemy.lol)

I'm a beginner to Powershell and CLI in general, but this task does not need to use either so I'm open to using other tools.

I'm trying to do the following:

  1. Create multiple files from a Word template.
  2. Rename each file based on a list of names found in an Excel/CSV sheet.

Thanks in advance!

Actually nevermind that question. Just realized the command was split.

I'm assuming I need to replace the name portion of the 2nd line. What do I input if the data is a list that starts in A1?
