Is there a tool to create a document based on a decision tree?
I create statements of work routinely for 10 to 20 different core projects.
Each project has many related sub-tasks that fit into different phases of the project. Not all projects need all of the items, but I'd like to check off items that should be included. I am looking for a program that will allow me to choose one of the base templates, from which I will be presented with sub-task topics to choose from, and then, at the end of the "wizard" (I envision it will be wizard based), it will kick out a document which includes text and material from the core topic and all of the sub-task components I've chosen. Anyone see a tool that works like this? Can anyone suggest a way of building such a tool? Would it be Access combined with Word? |

You want a project management tool, such as MS Project or equivalent.

Is there a tool to create a document based on a decision tree?
I already use Project to track the project, but Project doesn't create a
proposal document for me. So I guess my question wasn't very clear. I need a "wizard" that starts with a selection of templates and then drills down asking questions or presenting options based on the source of the tree. As I check off items, it remembers what was selected and then, as the final step, creates a Word document from data associated with the selected choices.

It may not be a complete solution, but you should have a look at
DataPrompter (http://www.wordsite.com/products/dpdas.htm). If you need a customized solution -- which I suspect is the case -- write to Bill Coan through the contact link on the site for a consultation. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
