Here are three methods I commonly use (in this order):

1. I output to HTML
2. I use a program like Crystal Reports. The ActiveX controls works with
GWindows.
3. I create templates in WordPad (using %XXX% or the like for fields) and
save to RTF. Then I do search and replace with Ada on the fields so to speak
and send the results to WordPad for printing (you start the application with
the -p option and the filename and it just prints out the temp file).
