Tony,
Further to the post about column size relating to text fields, I thought it might be worth posting what I am actually doing here in case you thought it might be worth providing a properly designed and supported feature that everyone could use.
I've actually produced a very basic facility to produce letters from my application using the PDF output patterns. I allow the user to specify paragraphs of text which are stored in a table. Taking other user data and the paragraphs and using titles I can combine the data into a (very basic) letter format. I was thinking of improving on this with some kind of mail merge of fields (similar to way you do with %%name) to allow more flexibility and give a better looking letter.
At this point I thought it was worth mentioning to you to see if you felt it was worth proper deveopment within the framework.
Graham
