A number of questions and possibilities come to mind.

Firstly the 'job' should be evaluated. A print and complete by hand *may*
be the most efficient way of doing the job, compared with setting up a
computer routine. This is especially so if you are putting just a couple of
bits of information and 'presentation' is not important.

Secondly, why can't you insert new information?

Thirdly, it may be best to have a template. This is a near finished
document. I would then add 'dummy' information in, say, red to remind you
that here is information that should be updated. I would then save this
file as a read only to prevent the template from being overwritten. When
you open and update the template it should be saved in another name using
'save as'.

I hope this gives you a few ideas.

Regards.

head office.These forms are saved as word docs but I can't

procedure and am expecting to be well and truely embaressed.
