Contact Scheduler v. 4.15 - Mail Merge Convention
CS4 mail merge function creates an ASCII file of CS4 data that be used
in nearly all commercial word processors. It is impossible for us to
provide detailed instructions for all word processor programs so we
have included instructions for WordPerfect. While the commands may be
slightly different for other programs the general procedure should be
very similar.
CS4's merge file structure is
* indicates start of record
Company Name
Address Line #1
Address Line #1
City, State/Prov, Zip/Postal Code
Country
** indicate end of record
In WordPerfect, create your document with 5 field designations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{Date}
~Field 1
~Field 2
~Field 3
~Field 4
~Field 5
Dear ----
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Save the document and clear the screen. Select 'MERGE' and choose your
letter as the Form File and the CS4 merge file as the Data File
WordPerfect will recognize the CS4 file as a DOS Mail Merge and will
ask you for the field and record designators.
Field Delimiters should be blank
Start Record *
End Record **
(In WP60 it should be * **)
Select Start Merge and WordPerfect will merge that data file and the
form file correctly.
