David,

Here's what I did a few days ago using VFP 5.0 to prepare a master document with lots of receipts in 2 languages. A merge was not an appropriate solution here since it would have been only capable to deal with one language at a time.

So I prepared a French template with bookmarks and another Dutch one with the same bookmarks.

Based on the language flag, I select the appropriate document, replace the bookmarks with my field values and paste the whole doc into my master doc file.
Easy and reasonnably fast (it prepares receipts at a rate of one per second on my P300).
