goshute explained :
What can I use to create nice looking documents.
We were storing data in Excel worksheets and using it to fill out an
Excel form. The data was then sent to a word document for printing and
creating pdf's. Now our entire company is going to Google docs except
for a few users that will still have Excel.
Word was used for the reports because it is easy to format a clean
looking document with correct page breaks, headers, rooters, etc, but
now it is being uninstalled.
We have tried inserting the data into another worksheet and printing
that but Excel is not suited for this.
There is very little you can do in Word that can't be duplicated in
Excel. Why can't you set pagebreaks and print to PDF directly from
Excel? I create entire manuals this way that include dozens of images,
numerous tables, and numbered paragraphs, all output to PDFs without
problems. No reason you need to use Word at all, IMO!
