Link between MS Outlook and Word/Excel

I am looking for a simple piece of coding or software (or something) to allow me to export certain task fields from MS Outlook into a Word or Excel document.

I don’t want to use the export function within Outlook as this requires the target document to be formatted each time (well that’s my experience anyway). Basically, I want to end up with a standard document in either Word or Excel which can be updated once or twice a day with the information from Outlook. Ideally, the link between Outlook and the document would be live and just need to be refreshed for any updated information to show.

I believe what I am looking for can be achieved by using XML and XSLT (or something like that) but I just don’t have the time to learn all about it and do it myself.

I’m fairly PC literate and would be able to follow written or aural instructions, time is of the essence here so early bids would be appreciated.
