They don't have to modify generated letters. They just have to modify MAIN document and BOLD only these fields they want.
If you use Mail merge you have One main document and one Data document (no matter what type it is DOC, XLS, CSN, TXT,DBF etc.)
WHen you generate letter you open Main document AND Data document and do Mail Merging. What I meant was let user modify Main document, not others. I doubt it have more that 2-3 pages (again I speak about template letter, not generated one).
