FN-FORUM: Mail merge

date posted 17th August 2005 14:56

Hi

I'm developing a membership based site. One of the features my client
wants is to be able to generate a report for members that have not
paid their annual subscription. (All done by standing order so manual
entry of subs paid). For those members that have not paid, he wants
to send out a letter. He does not have email addresses for most
members and wants to keep this requirement (and other correspondence)
as a postal service. So it's not as easy as knocking out an email for
unpaid members. Therefore he wants to automatically print out letters
for all unpaid subs. This is what I'm unsure about. So could MS
Word's (which he has) mail merge feature do this if I generate a CSV
file of unpaid subs? Or is there a more standard way of doing this?=20
I've never done mail merges in Word. It would be nice to give him
instructions so it looks like I know what I'm talking about.

TIA
Paul
