Hello,

Does anyone know if this is possible.

I have got two documents, one is a template for customer statement, the
other is the actual data for the statements, with all the data laid out into
the correct positions.

Is there any way to superimpose the data over the top of the statement
template to create one document.

The only way round I can think of would be to print all of the templates
then put them back into the printer to print the data over the top. I want
to avoid this if possible as there are about 2000.

Alternatively if anyone knows of any other software that would do this
please can you let me know.

Kind Regards,
Beth

Sounds like you want a form letter with a merge.

If you want to avoid the double print method, if you have access to the
source data that was used to create the documents with the data laid out,
then you could use that as a datasource for a mail merge. Alternatively,
you may be able to create a macro that would parse those documents to create
a data source that could be used for mail merge.
