Yes, but I need to get to step 6 to do so. An option to avoid the wizard in step 3 could prevent this. Furthermore, the last step of the wizard saves the merged document. What happens if I need to edit base document for any omission? Or change the location of the fields? All this I have raised are issues that arise in the school where I work, where teachers are comfortable using MSOffice. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Escuelas Libres :: Porque la educación es mucho mejor cuando es libre http://www.escuelaslibres.org.ar/ --- Para entrenar, cualquier programa sirve.
