I fully understood Samantha's question and don't see how suggesting that the repurposing of an existing document says she doesn't know what she's doing. As all of the "start from scratch" document authoring options are so costly, I think the suggestions were on the mark. Plus, you get to choose from so many styles and aren't locked-in to one or two. I was one of Sonny's first customers for SpecBuilder back in the early nineties and it was great. I'm not a big fan of anything they've done, since, though. It's amazing what Word VBA (Macros) can accomplish if you've got just a little time to code up formatting routines.

So, EDISIM is great, but probably too pricey. I have some word docs which are nicely formatted (if I do say so myself) which I can share off line to give you a framework.
