If
you use Microsoft Word (or Excel) to write your pupil
reports, with or without a template then this application
could save you considerable time and effort. You can create
standard statements or comments and group them into specific
sections for easy (one click) retrieval when writing a
report. Create separate database comments for individual year
groups or classes.
How
does it work?
This is a simple Add-in application for Microsoft Word 97/2000/2003. When
installed the application creates a Toolbar to launch the Comment Bank interface
(see screenshot). The
interface allows you to create reports from a selection of statements in a
database. The Databases are of the Microsoft Access format and may be opened and
edited whilst the application is being used. When a report has been created and
applied the report is automatically transferred to the current cursor location
of the active Word Document (or the selected cell/merged cells in Excel).
(Now
also works with Word Formfields in a protected document)
The second button in the Toolbar allows you to
select a portion of text in the word document and have it automatically added to
your current Comment Bank statements for editing.
Instructions for manual integration into another Access Database are also
provided together with the module that needs to be added and a demonstration
database. Macros need to be enabled also.
