Thanks for the heads up, but unfortunately it looks very similar to the
HotDocs solution that we a replacing.

Yes, I can bolt it into a >net app, but the pricing for this seems quite
excessive.

We have looked at the Word object, but the end users need to have MS Word
installed, which is something that we cannot guarantee or insist on.

I have come across some third party versions of the MS Word objects, but none
of them seem to have the flexibility we require on the mailmerge side of
things.

This is why we are now considering writing our own module.

Any other suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!
