Application report to MS Word

[thedaver]

I am writing an application that takes data to generate forms like invoices and estimates. The customer wants the final output to appear in MS Word for editing. I need to be able to utilize repeating headers and footers in the documents, which is my primary problem - consider a multipage invoice that should have the company logo at the top of every page.

Any hints/tricks/solutions? I can use Windows or Linux.

what's the problem with the headers and footers in the word document??. you start with a word document which you merge with the data from you're form. you can use vb script for this or you can generate an cdf or database file for the merge and do it manualy

I'm a linux hack, so my Windows skills are rusty. I'll try a merge into the form. Any suggestions on variable line counts into an invoice?
