Document Assembly software or templates or techniques
Can anyone direct me to information on Document Assembly software or
techniques, please? There are some expensive softward packages that lawyers use to build contracts. But I am interested in a similar but much less sophisticated process. I want to be given prompts that will allow selection of choices, then add the selected choice to the document, then go on the the next choice. this is probably not the correct discussion group, but can you help or direct me, please. thanx cliff |

Clifford,
Expensive is a relative term related to the time and effort that someone spent developing the software, testing it for a mirage of possible problems, and putting it on the market. Depending on the value of your own time, you might find that they are not so expensive after all. That said, basically what you need to do is define your template including all the boiler plate text and locations where you want the varialbe data to appear (bookmarks), then create a userform that contains the necessary text fields, checkboxes, options, dropdowns, etc. to enter this data. Once the data is collected you need to write the code that will put it in the right spot. The following should get you started http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm There are a lot of folks who would be happy to do this for you. Myself included. However, you have to realize that we also have to eat. After you see what is involved you might think we are cheap ;-) cliffordjf wrote: Can anyone direct me to information on Document Assembly software or techniques, please?
