Not sure if this is where I should post this? Hoping someone can help.
have a Word 2000 document. In the middle of one of the sentences,
want to add a customers name. The name will come from a field in
Works 97 database. There are about 80 records in the database and
want to print a copy of this document for each client with there nam
in there.

Can this be done? If so, how?

Thank You Very Much,

If your Works database can save the data to a tab-delimited or comma
delimited file, it can probably be used for a Word mailmerge. Does the Works
word processor have merge capability? If so, you might find it simpler to
use that instead of Word.
