>Hope this helps. I'm watching this thread with much interest. Been looking for software that will convert a scanned form to a macro. Ed pointed me to "Inform" which I have not located yet. Possiblly it is Novell Informs.

It probably is. When we bought InForms a few years ago, it was sold by WordPerfect; Novell probably bought it when they bought out much of WordPerfect's product line. And since then, Corel has bought up much of Novell's WP stuff, so it might be sold by Corel now. It does a pretty good job of macro creation and storage.
I still prefer the older FormWorx, which was being sold by Brown Bag Software a few years ago, but was never updated to a 32 bit application. it doesn't do everything that InForms does, and it doesn't have detailed support for every variation on PCL known to mankind, but what it does do, it does quite well (the PCL support is generic for HP LJ Series II stuff, and allows you a good deal of flexibility in defining your macros (formfeed, save cursor position, etc.)
I don't know if it's still on the market.
