- MAILSHOT PLUS - Operating Notes
-
- To select a menu option, simply use the up and down cursor keys to
- highlight the option required, and press RETURN. Alternatively, press
- the appropriate key corresponding to the first letter of the menu
- option (eg A to Add).
-
- Please Note: The mouse version of Mailshot Plus is not provided on
- this demonstration, although it is included when you purchase the
- program.
-
- Markers: You have 4 Markers, assigned to function keys 1-4. By setting
- say, Marker 1 onto the surname of each address when adding or editing
- labels, you can then use this to perform surname sorting.
-
- Memo lines: 4 extra lines per label are provided. These will not be
- printed with the actual label but can be used for phone numbers, etc.
- To display these lines, go to the layout menu and select to SHOW
- MEMOS. Enter dates in the normal DD.MM.YY format. When searching or
- sorting, the Memo lines are referred by M5, M6, M7, M8.
- When sorting (ORDER), enter the line or Marker number (eg L4, M4, M6)
- and then select ORDER from the Exit line.
-
- When searching, firstly select where you wish to search:
- ANY - look on every line
- L + Line number - look on specified line
- M + Marker number - look on specified Marker
- M + Memo line number - look on specific Memo line
-
- Then the condition:
- = - equal
- # - not equal
- < - less than
- <= - less than or equal
- > - greater than
- >= - greater than or equal
- =clash - detect duplicate labels
-
- Then finally, the requirement (eg Smith)
- Putting this together, an example might be:
- L3 = Devon, M1 # Smith, ANY <= 24
-
- You may also link several search criteria by using AND, OR, NOT
- (enclose all separate search criteria in brackets).
-
- Generally, remember to leave one space between each section of the
- search.
-
- As well as printing the basic label, it is also possible to print a
- summary by selecting particular lines (including Memos) and print them
- across the page horizontally.
- Select Print SUMMARY from the Print Menu and enter your summary
- requirements in the Summary Format line. For example, L1:10 L3:5 M6:5
- - this will print line 1 (10 characters long), and then line 3 (5
- chars) and then Memo line 6 (5 chars).
-
- The Editor:
- When entering and editing labels, an editor is provided. The
- facilities are:
- RETURN - moves to beginning of next line
- DELETE LEFT - delete left
- CTRL D or DEL - delete right
- CTRL R - remove whole line
- CTRL I, TAB or INS - insert a space
- CTRL A - add a new line
- ESCAPE or ESC - leave current label and return to main menu
