Hi Anna I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to suggest for this. I would need to first see some of the original templates, and then the same ones that are extracted and edited to see if there is some common thread in what is happening. If there are no originals that have not been stored in their document management system, then it would make sense to create one, then store a copy, then see what the problems are. It would seem to indicate that the doc mgt system could be causing the problem, but how that could be ascertained might be the province of a J2EE expert. I've attached my updated resume for you, though. Regards Di Clements M: 0400 1400 67 _____ From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Anna Mercer Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 4:08 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Contract opportunity - Melbourne Good afternoon, I'm seeking someone initially for a period of a few days for an investigative review which could then turn into a longer assignment, term to be determined. The organisation in need of this resource has a J2EE document management application which interfaces with Word and contains about 200 Word templates. When these templates are extracted and edited, they misbehave! They lose their formatting among other things and the organisation isn't sure whether something can be done with the templates to manipulate them in such a way that the issues can be eradicated, or whether this is impossible and another solution needs to be examined. So they initially want someone to consult to them for a few days to investigate the problem and determine whether an appropriate solution can be found with the Word templates themselves. If the answer is yes, then they may wish to engage the same resource to work on those templates to eradicate the problems. If you're interested, please contact me offline. I haven't been given a budget by the client but I can discuss what might be appropriate directly with interested parties. The role is in Melbourne CBD.
