How hard is it to create a template that can be used to merge the data? I need to be able to insert addresses into the current status quo, would it be easier to use Excel or Appleworks database for this function? That's my problem using just a word processor, if I insert a new address I have to completely alter everything that comes after the new address! Thanks Bruce Adrian, I looked at version tracker and have found a few interesting programs there. Trouble is, without access to them I don't really know if they will do what I need. Thanks for the suggestion.
