I have a small event management business. Typically, I am contacted
by a prospective client and I send a proposal/quote which, hopefully,
is followed by a contract. Both the proposal and contract use
slightly different text depending on the type client, the type of
event, and the timing (how soon before the event date). If the event
date is very close, then the proposal and contract are in the same
document and the payment terms are different. Each document also has
an appropriate FAQ appended to it, depending on the type of event.
Currently I am using a ‘master document’ and adjusting as necessary to
meet my needs but it is prone to error. I would like to create a word
document (I am using Word 2007) that is interactive where I could
check some boxes, enter some dates and pricing information and then
the document would be automatically filled with the appropriate
(boilerplate) text and FAQ. All I would need do at that point is enter
client info, event info (venue, event #, times, etc), and the event
equipment information (what all is included in the package).
I know this sounds like a form (and maybe it is, technically) but when
completed, I do not want to have any checkboxes or other form controls
showing.
What would be th ebest way to do this?
