I haven't tried the mail merge feature yet but it looks like it
might be fun to play with.
It would be real handy if a user could create their own form
letters and main merge fields into the Report.

I am pretty sure I did this before, many years ago, but I can't remember
how. Can someone show me how to import a word doc as a report template.
Here's how:
01. Save the .docx or .doc file as .rtf
02. While in Report Designer, use the "Rich Text Control" to import the
entire .rtf file with an option to Mail Merge.
03. If you need to Mail Merge, make sure to check the option for MailMerge
and Stretch.
For a sample application to demonstrate the use of such feature, take
a look at:

Topic: Using the Rich Text Control for Mail Merge in R:BASE 7.x and
Turbo V-8 for Windows
04. Make sure that you are using the latest version and updates of R:BASE
7.6, Turbo V-8, or R:BASE eXtreme 9.0.
