Mike:
Bruce has the right idea. Here is the execution:
1. Use Word to lay out and format (columns) your price list. Depending upon how much text you will likely want to use Landscape to get more columns and you will need to experiment with font size (18 is very readable, 14 is not bad).
2. If you don't have a software tool to convert the DOC file to JPG then use SnagIt to capture an image of your document and save that image to JPG.
3. Now edit User Preferences and select the JPG file as you Appearance Image. Likely you will want to do this as the SYS user so that you have the select 'Set for All Users'.
