Which Program
I need a few pointers on which program would be best suited to what I want to do.
I want to store certain names & addresses.
Write letters/flyers and include their details in the letter, so it looks like i only wrote to them. I know you can copy & paste, but that would be time consuming.
Print out address lables, not all the same address!
any help would be welcome.

Hi Becky,
I use Corel Draw (v12) to do most of the designing and all of my mail merging.
To give you an example a couple of months ago I produced 6,500 telephone labels for a University – they supplied the info in an excel spreadsheet.
Each label had its own extension number, direct dial number and some even had room numbers. Corel mail merged everything, the RIP took it in its stride and the versacamm rattled them off at an unbelievable speed.
It works a treat for me.

Hi Becky
I think MS Word or Lotus Word Pro would be best suited. I prefer the latter as its not MS!!
If you use the mail merge function, you can import names and addresses from an existing database or spreadsheet or create and utilise a database within the word processor package itself.
Once you get the hang of it, it’s a piece of the proverbial!
Cheers

Hi Mate,
You can not go past Easy Office here http://www.e-press.com/downloads/index.html
It does database, word pro, spreadsheet, sends emails and saves as doc and txt files and its FREE! My favourite 4 letter word!
I use it all the time, and have upgraded to the professional (paid) version, but I used the free version for many years.
I don’t think there is a better free suite on the net, and it is very easy to learn quickly.
Cheers
Shane
