Abstract

A forms generating and information retrieval apparatus comprises a compact disc for storing machine readably a plurality of form files and magnetic media for storing machine readably a plurality of information files. A processing means, such as, a computer, communicates with a reader for the compact disc and a reader for the magnetic media such that the processing means directs the compact disc reader to locate a selected one of the form files and transmit the selected forms file to the processing means. The processing means further directs the magnetic media reader to locate a selected one of the information files and transmit the selected information file to the processing means. The processing means merges the selected forms file with the selected information file and transmits the merged files to a printer.
