What is the best way to consolidate a contract package and build a database to enter in all of the text fields? (customer names, dates, addresses, etc.)
I have been using a mail merge in word with Microsoft Windows. I need to take roughly 20 documents (mainly excel, word, and pdf) and have then in on file.
Mail merge is ok, but I can see to format them the way that I want to.
I would even like to know if there is a program to buy, that would help me do this.
I'm willing to pay.
It sounds as if Adobe Acrobat may be the solution for you - you can create forms to be filled out and data extracted, create a pdf portfolio having mixed documents (Word, Excel, etc.), and do a great many other things. It's more than just an organizational tool. You can download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat Pro XI from Adobe and try it out - see if it does what you need.
Good luck,
Clinton
