I have roughly 125 data driven pages for a map book i am working on.  In the layout next to the map i want to have a text box/word document. Is there a way to link the word document so that it automatically includes the correct document for each data driven page?  i have no experience with python or arcpy.

I don't know of a way to dynamically change OLE objects via python.  A possible alternative would be to convert each work doc into a high resolution picture.  The picture element has a .sourceImage property that would allow you to change out each file.
