I send out several hundred announcements a month with addresses from a
FileMaker Pro database. I have FileMaker output a tab-delimited text file with
the data I want, then I switch to FullWrite to print the announcements. I just
click the "Merge with database file" check box in the Print dialog and choose
the tab-delimited text file with the data.
