Subject:Template Question From:Claudine M Jalajas <CMJalajas -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 11 Nov 1998 09:52:40 EST
Hi all,
I have another word question for you. (thanks to all the others that helped
with the Hog question). I am creating a template for a client that wants to
customize each individual manual for *their* clients. Ex: Sell X with options
A, C, and E. They load the template, click on the appropriate icons A, C, and
E and that text automatically imports into the document. There is one glich:
the screens change with every client.
Any ideas on how to automate this??
So far, my idea is to make each graphic really be a shaded table with fill-in
fields. The screens are similar to dos screens so there doesn't need to be
any fancy stuff here.
