I contacted the company in question,
and they said they want an Excel file,
and only gave a Word doc as an example
because they thought people would find it easier to read.
Incidentally, the "project" is to send insurance forms for a school
with each pupil listed (with date of birth, etc).
I'd love a little Java screen to put in the data.
Does anyone know of such a thing?

than all these sed scripts ...
