Hi Anthony Apart from the scanning bit which isn't practical (one of the forms is bigger than A4 and my scanner is maximum A4) I thought the answer would be something like that. I've had a quick look at XForms to see if that's the way to go... I may have to just measure the positions of the fields on the forms- printing onto the forms isn't an issue.
It's just finding the information on how to do it then the time and energy to actually do it, for something I don't have to do very often, but when I do do it, I always think there's got to be an easier way than this :) Keith On Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:08:35 -0400 Anthony Chilco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Keith, > I'd scan the documents, then drop them, one to a page in a writer > file.
