A method and system for producing documents with which the quality of a template conversion is increased by presenting to an operator associations of template elements between a source document template and a destination document template and allowing the operator to correct any erroneous association during the conversion. This includes providing a source document template, parsing the source document template into source parsed elements, converting at least some of the source parsed elements that require conversion for a destination document template and thereby providing destination template elements. This further includes presenting to an operator the source parsed elements and the destination template elements with their association and accepting operator input to correct at least some of the destination template elements. Then generating a destination document template from the destination template elements that include operation corrections and generating documents from the destination document template and a data source containing field data.
