    Hi,

    Im in need of a programming solution. Ill expose the problem.

    At work, they use a software that maniputale word (rtf) documents. When you open a document from the software, it brings the word document from the server to the local workstation, open word, then you edit the document, and in word their is a macro that save and send back the doc to the server.

    Now, I would love to develop something that would permit the users to edit the document with more ease. Ill explain:

    The document generated by the server looks like this:

    Obsèques
    
    @310@|@NA_@| Aux soins du liquidateur
    @301@|@NA_@| Inhumé
    @302@|@NA_@| Incinéré
    @303@|@NA_@| Sans être exposé
    @304@|@NA_@| Après avoir été exposé
    @305@|@NA_@| Inhumé/après avoir été exposé
    @306@|@NA_@| Inhumé/sans avoir été exposé
    @307@|@NA_@| Incinéré/sans avoir été exposé
    @308@|@NA_@| Incinéré/après avoir été exposé
    @309@|@NA_@| Messe soit célébrée et mes cendres enterrées à côté de ?
    @311@|_| À coté de qui les cendres sont enterrées ?
    
    Code (markup):
    Their is 6 pages of that stuff. Basically, these are choices. When their is an underscore (_), you need to put a 1 after the NA, so it look like this for example:

    @307@|@NA1@| Incinéré/sans avoir été exposé
    Code (markup):
    And when their is a |_|, you have to enter text, so it look like this:

    @311@|Jasmine Lafontaine| À coté de qui les cendres sont enterrées ?
    Code (markup):
    The problem is that some new employees find it hard to edit the document and make the right choice, and not delete some special characters etc....

    Id like it to develop something like a questionnaire, where people can tick when they make a choice or just input text in a field, and afterwards, the correct word doc would be generated.

    I was thinking of a java apps, or something in xml, xslt, html-php, but id like to keep as a minimal running script-apps. Something that could be launched from word and when you close, it brings you back to word with the generated doc.

    Any ideas ? All our welcomed.
