xml - Generate a document template from a library of content blocks -
my company has collection of word templates different types of quotes. there 3 main types, "firm quote" being detailed. each of these templates follows same general outline , populated same boilerplate, few differences 1 document another.
within firm quote category, there more boilerplate sections can added depending on product being quoted.
what create library or database each boilerplate section tagged, , of templates pull same library. ideally user step through little menu , choose quote type, , additional boilerplate, , template generated customize. if update 1 boilerplate section, wouldn't have in 2 other locations.
i'm open learning new software or coding languages this, or moving away word. prefer not @ expensive software can me; i'd rather spend time learning myself.
any idea how can make happen?
i used work company developed product did want. if you're interested in software let me know , i'll add product link.
so have different options this:
- buy such product handle you. since you're looking "non expensive software" it's maybe wrong approach
- you can develop microsoft word plugin , manage database quotes or instead of database it's possible manage simple word files quotes content , insert them users selection. plugin can create microsoft visual studio community edition c# or vb.net
- you can develop microsoft word macro in vba , create need in there.
- you can have @ microsoft word inbuilt function
