Hi there.
I just read a review of envelope-printing programs in MacWorld (Sep
'89). However, the review didn't mention what I'm most interested in:
having mail-merge capability. My wish-list for such a program would
be:
1. Exists as a Desk Accessory.
2. Will print standard small and business size envelopes.
3. Maintain return address
4. Read a Word-style mail merge file (and remember the data file
without having to be told every time).
5. Work on both a LaserWriter and Imagewriter II.
My goal is to create a form letter, print it with Mail-Merge (or
Mail-Munge depending on the luck you have :^). Then, print the
envelopes using the same file. I don't mind if the program looks for
specific field names.
I realize that I can make Word document to simulate printing
envelopes, and, in fact, I have done so for the LaserWriter. However,
something like this would be much more convenient and less
trial-and-error to get the spacing right.
Thanks for pointers.
