I have to admit that I quite like doing these small repetitive jobs, you can always tweak something translation-wise (working off a Kbis template, of course -- previously done work), you can always "play" with the lay-out, and then getting it right and producing a great-looking document is such a great satisfaction. It's a pity that the client didn't say thanks or even acknowledge receipt of my delivery, but you get very used to that in this game.  1 user
