- Dear &salutation,
-
- This is a sample 'Mail Merge' document included with Mail Call.
- Once you have 1 or more names, press [P]rint at MC's main menu, then
- press [P]ersonalized Document. When asked for the name of the file to
- import, enter SAMPLE.DOC. This and the other '.DOC' files included with
- Mail Call will show how easy and fast MC can send letters, memos, promo-
- tional materials, even Holiday greetings to clients, other staff, or friends.
-
- MC can help you create many types of personalized documents - memos,
- letters, announcements, promotional material, etc.
- * You create a document with your word processor or editor (save in ASCII)
-
- * You tell MC where to place information (name, street, etc.) by
- including 'Merge Keys' - phrases like those above (&name, &street, etc.)
-
- * The '&prompt' merge key is your way of telling MC to pause to let
- you add an individualized message or comment to each document. It
- may appear as many times as you want.
-
- MC prints documents on your printer and screen. 'Merge keys' (see
- above) are replaced by appropriate fields from your database. '&date'
- will be filled in by reading your computer's internal clock.
-
- You can print in 'Non-Stop' or 'Preview & Edit' (MC's Default) mode.
- If you choose Preview, MC will print about 20 lines on your screen, then
- pause to allow you to edit it BEFORE it's sent to the printer. We recom-
- mend you select 'Preview.' If everything's OK, switch to 'Non-Stop'.
-
- The editing feature is useful for adding a unique message to each
- recipient, adding a date if your computer hasn't the correct date, etc.
- You may also erase lines - fill them with blanks. These blank lines
- will be printed. Use your word processor if you have to 'delete' lines.
-
- MC can print lines of any length. But MC will display on your
- screen (and let you edit) lines up to 80 characters long. MC will trun-
- cate longer lines IF YOU TRY TO EDIT THEM! So, if you have a letter with
- lines longer than 80 characters, be sure it's perfect before runing MC.
-
-
- Sincerely,
-
-
