Sorry for the delay on elaborating on my question...  I am developing a
program that in the end will send something to the printer... Sounds
easy enough other then I want it to be in the form of a professional
looking document...  What I was thinking of doing was creating the
template (through whatever existing program) and have my program just
fill in the necessary fields...

Does that explain it any better?
