Haven't really done any mail/merge work since the days of Magic
Wand and CP/M.
In that program I had comparison and if statement capability
which permitted variable letters to be built based upon incoming
criteria.
A simple thing like addressing one or more individuals
(child/children) followed by one or more of their names seems to
be a real problem with our users out there. We certainly can
produce whatever data extracts they need from a DB, but how
should they handle that in their particular WP?
How can they use child or children whichever is appropriate in
their letters depending on the input of one or more names?
Any WP experts out there with mail/merge experience?
