PC stations running the AS/400 application?

all users access Papirus via this server. The server should
also be installed with IBM Client Access and the relevant
Microsoft applications (Word and/or Excel).

Document formats are created and edited in Microsoft Word.
No programming knowledge is needed.

into printouts?
