Hi All,

I have a application (acc2k) that is used by a number of different
customers. There are a couple of standard letters available to the
customers but all have the same text and i am now being asked to
provide the functionality that will enable them to provide their own
content. I have thought of using a form which would provide the data
for a 'label', but i cannot figure out how paragraphs, blank lines and
tabs for example can be captured so that they can be included in the
final letter.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Keers

I would use Access database with Word mail merge.  Data is loaded
in Access and pulled out using a query to select what you want and the Word
document.

Word Mail-Merge---  Open a blank Word document, click on menu TOOLS -
Letters and Mailings - Mail Merge.  It opens an additional window on the
right and has step-by-step instructions and choices.  You can also backup in
the process.  Works fine for me.
