Forgive my inexperience...

Is there a way for me to programmatically "File > New" so as to create the
form repeatedly? I am reading a file and applying the data to the form, one
line at a time. I should be able to program so as to know where the bottom of
the page is, and thus submit each page to be printed.

It really would help if I could blank out existing data following a bookmark
because I will have to create multiple pages of detail info, with the main
data staying the same. To be able to keep that data intact, and just refill
the detail info would be great.

I appreciate your help, Jay. Anything else you can do to help me on this
would be greatly appreciated.

The best answer is to create the form as a *template* from which you
create new documents with the File > New command. Every new document
opens with the bookmarks already cleared (because that's how they're
stored in the template) and you don't have to worry about how much
gets inserted.
