Overview:
Whenever you enter a new record in the Debtor file, you will observe that ì
you can enter a first name as well as a 'salutation.' By default during ì
data entry, the 'salutation' is the first name, though you can enter ì
anything you wish into this field. You could, for example, enter 'William' ì
for first name and 'Bill' into the salutation field.
First appearance of the 'salutation' field:
The 'salutation' field appears whenever you output data from this program ì
into a word processor using selection B on the Main Program Menu:
"B) Import or Output data"
Let's say that you have created a 'boilerplate' text in a word processor ì
and wish to use its MailMerge[TM]-style facilities. The ability in this ì
program to distinguish between formal first names, such as 'Edward,' and ì
the actual manner in which the person is addressed, such as 'Ed,' will make ì
your 'boilerplate' text read better and be more believable.
Second appearance of the 'salutation' field:
Whenever you use the Quick Memo [TM] feature in either a Debtor or Activity ì
record, the program will examine the salutation and the first name. If ì
different, then the salutation is placed into the Quick Memo [TM] in this ì
form, based on your selection in "Establish or update system-wide values ì
for your company:"
===========================================================================
Let's say the person's name is JOHN DOE. |
Your choices are: |
|
1 = 'Dear John:'
2= 'Dear Mr. Doe:
3= 'Dear Mr. John Doe:'
4= 'John:'
5= '' <============= left blank |
|
|
===========================================================================
If you wish to use the true first name without bringing the salutation into ì
the Quick Memo [TM], then observe this fourth option in the 'system-wide ì
values:"
===========================================================================
Inclusion/Omission of 'Salutation' field: |
|
If turned On, the program places the salutation name from the Debtor record,èsuch as 'Bill,' into the salutation field instead of the first name,
such as 'William.
If turned Off, only the first name is placed into this field.
|
1 = Include 'Salutation' field |
2= Omit 'Salutation' field |
