>I've got a client that wants to create contract clauses in Word. What I want to be able to do from VFP is read the .doc file and give them a picklist of all the clauses that are found in the file, let them select the ones they want and then stuff the actual clause data into the contract.doc file the VFP app is creating. For example:
>
>Scaffolding:
>This is the clause about scaffolding...
>
>Cleanup:
>This is the clause about cleanup...
>
>So the VFP picklist would contain Scaffolding and Cleanup.

>How can I structure the the clauses.doc file so it's easy to get at from VFP and easy for them to create new clauses. Each clause on a separate page? use bookmarks? use a particular styles for the name and clause? something else????

I've done some contract generating from Fox, and I've always kept the text excerpts in a Fox table with memos, and never had problems, no matter what format the output had to be. Actually, I think you should decide if you like this option, or keep it in Word. My preference was always to keep as much as I can in Fox (specially the data), and do just the local specific stuff in other tools.
