Mail Merge Overview
The SedonaOffice application offers the functionality to generate letters in an automated fashion for your customers based upon template letters your company designs in MSWord. Using this functionality eliminates the burdensome task manually typing individual letters.
The SedonaOffice Mail Merge functionality uses the Mail Merge feature within Microsoft Office MSWord to generate these letters. Template letters are created and then accessed from the Customer Explorer, Collection Queue, Cancellation Queue and the Customer Query Builder. To generate a Mail Merge letter, the User must first create template letters. The letter templates are designed with pre-determined fields that you always want to print on every letter such as the customer name, address etc. Depending on what type of letter will be generated will determine which fields are defined on the template.
This section will show you how create and generate Mail Merge letters. The field names used for template letters for the Customer Query Builder and other options is different; the setup of both types of letter templates will be covered.
