Jim -

Though you don't need to be a "Migrations/Conversions" expert to do this, it is fairly simple to import a text file into MS Word, depending on any unmentioned details (possibly needing macros and/or VB).  Maybe you could hire yourself to solve this problem, and since you are already working there, I'm sure you could work out a good deal with yourself.

Cheers, Peter

Does anyone have any experience taking an MPE delimited flat file directly into Word to populate?
What design/approach, tools, process did you use?
What worked best?
 
Current considerations for us are: Crystal, Reflections/VBA/FTP then mail merge to Word.
