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.
