Hi, parry!

The thing about Excel is that it isn't suited to lots of text, and certainly not with any half decent document formatting.

You other guys:

I was discussing something similar with a client. They have a table of rows with one form field each. When the doc is complete, we'd like it to find each blank formfield and say "would you like to hide this row?", and if so, hide it. If not, force entry of a value into the form field. This is because they have values for X or Y, but not BOTH X and Y. The form now allows for entry of either, but the final form doesn't show a non-relative row. Suppose I have a mortgage application checklist. In it, REntal Agreement or Mortgage Agreement are X and Y. If Rental agreement is blank, then we want to remove that row. Unfortunately, we discussed having Rental or Mortgage as a dropdown, but he didn't like that idea...

Just some thoughts/ideas for the addin/etc.
