Description

The project is to build a utility that can take an Excel input file and create a directory book.

I have a database extract that comes to me in an Excel format. The data is somthing like a company profile (name, location(s), management info, company info, technologies, etc.). I need a utility written that I can point at my extract file, it takes the data and:

1) Creates either a Word or PDF document that has the appropriate formatting (example: bolded header for company name and field names with the data --- Address, Telephone, Email, etc.)

2) The utility needs to allow me to create the above into several different sections. For example, the first section will be a simple alphabetical list of companies, the second section will have them sorted by location.

3) Three indexes (name and page number where found) need to be created based on: alphabetical order, the industries they work in, and the technologies they support.

4) Each page in the sections and indexes should have a header that says what is on the page (for example, Sorted By Name, Sorted By Location, Industry Cross Reference, Technology Cross Reference).

5) I should be able to enter a footer (for example, 2008 Edition)

6) A Table of Contents needs to be created based all of the above.

7) The utility needs to be smart enough to know when the amount of space used on a page is completed to insert insert page breaks. Data from one listing CANNOT be split across pages.

I don't care what it's written in, I just need to know how to run the darn thing! A GUI would be nice but I'm happy to run a script with some parameters.

You can use the combination between Excel Object Library and Word Object Library (included within Office setup as default). Using these library, you will have any flexibilities on accessing items on both Excel and Word document. Let me know if you are interested with my method.
