We're looking at a quick and dirty replacement for our Office documents we use to send information to our customers (disconnect letters, etc.).  Here is what we are planning: Print the office document, then use CPYSPLF to covert from stream to a database member.  We have a RPG program which will read the database member in, use a replace function to fill in keywords such as %date%, then output to a printer file.  We then would use a CL to override the RPG to a specific database member for whatever letter we want to produce.
 
The one problem we seem to be running into is that certain letters have attributes such a bold or underline, which we are legally required to format this way.  Is there a way I can 'softcode' bold or underline starts and ends directly into my database member, or create a replace function to change '%BOLD%' to the boldface code?
 
Thanks for your help!
