I generated my company's data sheets using system similar to that you describe, except for the editability, since I handle both the code and the outputting. see: http://www.celem.com/products.html I used LaTeX, together with M4 and bash for the clever layout stuff. If your processing is relatively simple, ie just insertion of fields without any complex calculations, then creating something that can be edited in one of the TeX editors such as LyX should not be too problematic. In my case I had to do cell-merging and resizing and other ghastly things which made my multi-file templates scary on a par with a sendmail config. -Daniel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
