Message-ID: <1135@aucs.UUCP> Date: 28 Jun 88 19:13:41 GMT Reply-To: peter@aucs.UUCP (Peter Steele) Distribution: na Organization: School of Computer Science, Acadia Univ., Nova Scotia Lines: 23 This is an urgent request because our Usenet access is to be temporarily lost starting Thursday, June 30. Please address replies to a source other than my UUCP address (BITNET preferred); of course, send to Usenet if you only have access to that and I hope I'll get them sometime and somehow. My question is this: I've had several departments ask if it is possible to do a conditional mail-merge in WordPerfect. For example, they have a large address file and for some reason might want to do a merge and select only those records for which the state field is "CA". I've used word processors that support this sort of thing (e.g, Microsoft Word), but I cannot find a way to do this is WordPerfect. I find it hard to believe that this can't be done since it is such an obvious requirement in a mail-merge program. Am I missing something? Can this sort of conditional mail-merge be done in Word Perfect? Please reply as soon as possible. -- Peter Steele, Microcomputer Applications Analyst Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 UUCP: {uunet|watmath|utai|garfield}!dalcs!aucs!Peter BITNET: Peter@Acadia Internet: Peter%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
