i have built forms for my Job Quotes in Corel and would like to convert them to my MS Word program.

The files are made and save on my produtions computer and i want to sneeker net them to my wifes business computer so she add the details of the quote to the form and then e-mail them to the customer via PDF file or print them for faxing.

My problem is that i cannot figure out how to do this. What file do i export from corel,then how do i import to word so that i can add aditional copy ( word does not have import funtion that i can tell ).....Or do i have to rebuild this form in Word then add my logo so that the info can be added.

am i makeing any sense??

please help this computer dummy!!

You could probaly just cut and paste the text and graphics should be exported as a .wmf file and you can import that into Word. Not sure if that is what you are trying to do, hope it helps...

If you export it as a .jpg or .gif, in Word you just go to 'Insert', then 'Picture', then 'From File' and insert it. make all your revisions and save as a .doc.

Werks fer me [Smile]

I use the method Si mentioned. If you need to type over the form, right click on it and under the Layout tab, select Behind text. Next select the Advanced button and uncheck the Move object with text box. Make sure the Allow overlap box is checked. You can use the Format options to set position, size and once you get it where you want it on the page, under the same advanced button, you can lock it in place.

Something else you can try is to export them from Corel as a Word .DOC. I haven't had much luck with the filter but it may work for you.

Chris for what you want to do I do not think it is possible period. At least not the way you say having something that you can update like you want I think you will have to recreate all your user forms in word or stay with your corel forms.
