As pointed, I would suggest using pdf documents where possible. I use a LaTeX template, fill in using TT fields (from forms and DB), and convert it to pdf (it may be done directly using TT). It is possible to adapt it to word documents: write your word thing, using tt fields (in word: pay attention not to change formatting in the middle of the tt expr: Dear [%user%], you were supposed to pay $ [%amount%] for ... (using formating where necessary). Then save your text as an rtf file (which is a text file, somewhat similar to latex). Check that there is no tag broken by formatting. Add your TT entries (DBI connections, FOREACH loop), and use it as a template. I tried and it works for simple documents. -- Franco Bagnoli (franchino) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) virtual location: Dipartimento di Energetica "S.
