one of my clients does a shit ton of proposals but has no real system in place. right now, its a based off a big word doc, they edit it, screw it up, save it, change shit, resave it
within a month its a pile of crap and someone has to rewrite it because some other person broke itis there any way to set up a server or something?
"i want... header2, intro 1, body 6, footer 2, and to put my own content in between intro and body"
and then hit some keys have an app or server blorp out a word doc/PDF/idd using those elements and saving them together as a unit?my brain is melted today

there's probably a billion ways you could do this. probably the cheapest and fastest (IMO) would be to do it php. but that's just me...

Will make a database, I'm pretty sure you can make a web form and word docs from it, but not positive. Give it a go, it sounds like it could help even if it doesn't solve your exact problem.

its kind of an all or nothing situation.. they want a whole new system that will work or to just keep failing as is haha
filemaker seems logical.
they want to be able to have 1 person assemble it, input client name, change a few values and click "assemble"
they then want another person to be able to look it over and just hit print, with it fully formatted and stylized from the gothanks dudes

Whatever you implement, make sure it has a feature to resotre from some kind of original master.
