hamster Posted 5 January, 2011 Share Posted 5 January, 2011 Anyone got experience of using Mail Merge or a similar please? I've created a template letter that I'd like to disrtibute to potential customers. I was going to create a database in either Excel or (preferably) one of the OpenOffice formats but don't want to waste hours doing it in the wrong one and have to go through the whole data entry process twice so advice on the best one would also be appreciated too please? If I have a choice of formats then I would ideally like to use one that would allow me to record which people I have contacted to avoid repetition. I was thinking of using OpenOffice's Base but when I set up a draft copy I found it difficult to add fields. cheers in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 6 January, 2011 Author Share Posted 6 January, 2011 Cheers ts, i've downloaded their wizard and looking at their walk through tutorial it looks like precisely what i need - IOU 1 beer. They lean toward MS but I have that installed too. I shall experiment with OO though. Glad to read that they work with spreadsheets as I find databases mysterious things. cheers again.
