OK, so you have four csv files, which means it's just raw data that hasn't yet been turned into any kind of table.

Before any kind of processing can occur (manual or automated), there are some basic issues you need to resolve. For example:
• How are your headings/titles to be identified from those data?
• What determines where the content for one heading ends and the next one begins?
• Can the content relating to a given heading/title span more than one page?
• Does each heading/title begin a new page or can it start part-way down a page?


• Can two or more headings/titles and their content occur on the same page?
• What format is the output to take (e.g. normal print, booklet print)?
• Does it matter whether the data is stored in the application in the same format as the final printout (i.e. does it matter whether you can see all columns side-by-side in the electronic file)?
You need to work through all of those issues before you can decide on which of the applications you have access to is best suited to the job. Your proficiency in each of these applications is another important consideration, since you might spend less time getting the job done in an application that isn't ideal than it'll take you to master the ideal one.
