Cant help you there havent done mail merge since the days of the Mail Merge program that came with WordStar - DOS 2.11 era. -----Original Message----- From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bruce Eddy Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 9:05 AM To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [CTS] mail merge?? Hi guys, I have a friend that wants to write a letter to 75 people and print it out to snail mail. I'm assuming he'd use word, or something like that for this? I don't think his puter has Word. And he's using Vista. Plus he's 84 years-ish old (lemme put it this way??? His business card says 'in business since 1938??:))) and this is his first PC??? Get the picture.. Anyone have any ideas how he can do that without jumping thru hoops. Some kind of mail merge alternative? Thanks , Bruce
