If you really plan to use VFP then you may look at several VFP add-on tools available:

and more probably.

Hi pcelba
MS Word would be good. I do have some variable data.
Please explain how to do it.

If I were you I would use one of two methods:
1) Word automation and mail merges
a) create document in word
b) create query in vfp
c) record a macro in word
d) translate the marco to vfp code
e) run the macro from vfp to automate the merge and printing
2) Web Browser / HTML
a) create an html document
b) either use webbrowser on vfp screen or generate an HTML and print via internet explorer
c) use automation to replace merge text like <first> with alltrim(query.first)
d) save the generate html and print it

This solution is only available to members.

If the leaflet contains data from tables or Excel sheets then I would rather use e.g. MS Word and mail merge.
If the leaflet does not contain variable data then any text publishing tool can do better work for you.
Could you please better specify what should be the output?
