About Document Designer
Document Designer (DD) can be used to design and edit documents which can be printed from SOAPware, i.e. referral letter, reports, etc. Documents can be created using free text or free text combined with commands and macros that automatically transfer data from a patient chart, e.g. patients name, demographics, vital signs, EKG/ECG reports, etc.

The Design View
This is an example of a prescription document design viewed within Document Designer. Free-text has been typed to customize the look of the design, and several command phrases (items that have #$ $#) are included.
