Customizable 4 sided waybill software

Hi all:  I'm looking for a source of customizable 4 sided waybill software.  MicroMark offers the pre printed 4 sided waybills that you then fill in by hand; what I'm looking for is an electronic version of those cards. This way I can fill in the 4 sections of the way bill information, size the card to fit my custom Car Cards (with photos) and then print both sides of the waybill.  OR maybe someone has an excel file to share.

Thanks, Joel

Take a look at http://www.shenware.com  thats the only product that I know of for waybills   I looked at this after a recommendation from a friend.  But I decided to hold off on this project until after I take care of some other items.  I operate on a layout that uses JMRI Ops, but I am staying with simple waybills.

I just did 2-move waybills to print one-sided on paper, but the worksheet could with some extra work be expanded.

There's a fair bit of customization including putting a blocking code and matching colour coded bar at all the top to ease in routing. I'm not at home right now but willing to send some images and/or a copy of my excel file to anyone interested.

Thanks, guys. I've been using custom one sided/two destination waybills for five years or so. Bill's reference to the Shenware site is exactly what I was hoping to get from the posting!  Joel

 Thanks, John.  It looks like a lot of cogitation will be needed regarding destinations and routes (much more than I've considered so far), before I even start creating the waybills. But it's good to hear it's not too complicated. I get enough computer time at work! :)  And the result will really improve the traffic movement on the layout during operations. Joel
