Word
Processing Programmes: Any PC word processing programme which supports
Rich Text Format (RTF) such as MS Word, Word Perfect and such can be used to create
a template with merged data from the AS/400. Printing: InterWord
merges data and template centrally on the AS/400, providing stability. The document
can be printed directly on the laser printer. Editing: A merged
document can be opened in a word processing programme on the PC for editing, after
which it can be printed or saved on the AS/400. Segmenting: Templates
can be connected to one or more database files on the AS/400 either directly or
via Query. Conversion: User defined conversion functions
provide greater flexibility. For example converting upper-case contact details
to lower-case. Advanced Editing: This is an advanced function
for editing a date field. For example, change a numerical date to a text field.
Other numerical fields can be edited as required. | | IIndividualising:
The template can include paragraphs
or text which are controlled by the data fields. This function makes it possible
to individualise the document to a single recipient. Advanced Document
Merge: One recipient can get several documents by using command file in
which data is referenced to several templates. Prototypes:
A command file can contain examples of data and work as a prototype when creating
new templates. The result can be viewed immediately using the Graphical Viewer
- included in the product. OfficeVision Replacement: Use InterWord
as an OfficeVision replacement. Existing documents created in OfficeVision can
be converted in one process to the RTF format and then read and edited by most
word processing systems. Advanced OfficeVision functions are also supported by
InterWord. InterForm: InterWord is fully integrated with InterForm
(electronic forms management) allowing you to add forms created in InterForm to
a merged document created in InterWord. | | |
