Print your OOF's from CC as you normally would. Put your paper back into the printer & use this word document to 'fill-in' your information. You'll have to key in your info & then save it, but it should save you time from stamping or running copies.

Thanks, Crystal! I just put in my info and am going to try it. I've been wanting something like this for quite sometime. Can't wait to see how it comes out!
