Hi i think i am stupid i cannot find a clue. Mail merge will not work for me. When i use the wizard he immediatly puts the data in my document . That does not work for me . I want to change the csv (wich has only 2 lines a header and 1 line of data) file with a little perl script to put a adres in from our accounting program. Then i want to open a template and oops and there is a letter with the right adress in it Is this so difficult ? or am i stupid. Probably the last. Is there a simple way to get this done. In microsoft office i put adres , and other data in little rft files. Inserted the file and let both file be connected if the rtf changes the doc changes This also works in openoffice but openoffice makes my rtf pagewide (it is only 6 cm wide in rtf) When i make it smaller to get my adres in the right place my text goes smaller to. I want to get rid off microsoft I don't like there policies. When this problem is solved i can leave microsoft behind and i will be a happy guy. thks Harry
