I haven't done much with word but I had a look at your thread and yep... I got nothing to offer in that.

I can think of a few ways to do the text, text boxes... Pictures... You could build a user interface to manage that I guess... But I would need to understand how the document is used, like, who would maintain the text and how often... What kind of "look" you need for the text and what level of formatting you require... You would need to provide a bit of background there mate. Maybe a sample spreadsheet showing the typical structure?
I think you should start a new thread though.

Oh and sorry for my Un-hip-ness but what us PITA?
