documents

[the paulsons]

Here is my own puzzler Scott.  I need to set up on my computer legal size documents (8.5 x 14) which are standard Ontario real estate documents.  The printed forms are set up with boxes to insert information and check marks, which when completed are printed out as a final legal signing document.  I am presently inputting the information by typewriter, which is totally outdated.  There is a software called Polaris which is sold by a legal printing company for $600.00. This sets up the forms and you can insert the information on the computer and save it.  A local printer fellow said he could set it up by scanning the document on a legal scanner, then input it on a disk and use the microsoft word publishing 2000 program to insert the info.  The publishing program runs about $150.00.  Do you have any ideas how I can do this without incurring that cost?  Thanks from your cheap aunt Audie who only works with microsof word.
