You can't customize the letters without FileMaker. You can export 
records, though, and a lot of people export data to a text file and 
mailmerge that data with a merge template created in Word.

You won't even need to import. FileMaker will open the same data 
files that the runtime application does. You will be able to access 
your data directly once you get FileMaker - if that's the route you 
choose.
