    Currently having to setup our contracts using Crystal Reports is extremely tedious as it is not meant for lengthy text documents. The formatting is difficult to maintain and when you are working with 50+ page legal documents, having to update them with changes is also extremely tedious. We receive our contracts from lawyers in Word format so being able to simply upload a word document, then map fields for a merge is way more efficient. Crystal is not meant for these types of documents.

    Additionally I failed to mention that I use this for every project. I created a work around for subcontract and added language to scope of work and general notes that cover the main body page and have additional pdfs to combine to complete the subcontracts. But for owner contracts I still have to set up projects in Prolog Manager and then used my AIA style owner contracts for word merge to create different owner contracts in lieu of having to buy additional contracts from AIA. So if we had the ability to word merge I would not have to do duplicate work setting up a project twice in Prolog and ProjectSight.

    Since the introduction of ProjectSight the discussion of Word Merge capabilities has been discussed to replicate the functionality of Prolog Manager & Converge. Since that platform is no longer supported and has reached end of life, I would have hoped that the future consideration aspect would have been expedited in 2023. This Idea is from 2019 as is #PSW-I-2410. My own is from 2021 #PSW-I-1555 even though I have be asking about this from day one. All are listed as Future Consideration. When does our future become a reality.
