Hi,

Here's the scenario: I have a Network Documentation Manaul that we provide
when we set a network - all the system information - for the client.
Somewhere in the 20 to 25 page area. The basic layout of the document
remains the same for different clients, with just some adjustments where
necessary. What I'd like to be able to do would be to setup up some kind of
document along the lines of a mail merge where we could go and fill in a
spreadsheet, or whatever, and have that information go and "write" the
manual for us.
The difficulty I have is how can I handle things like putting data into
tables? Is it possible? Any ideas of something that will achieve what I want
to, if Word isn't capable?

Questions:
Can I do a merge involving table data? ie there might be data that would go
into a 2 X 8 table. All the data would be changing between jobs.
Can I merge bulletted lists, long lists?
Can I take an existing document and go through the various parts of the
document and convert appropriate sections to fields? ie every instance of
the clients name turn it into a field? Select a table of data and make it a
field?

Open to ideas and suggestions at this point.

Cheers,
Brent
