Dear Truman,

Any new thoughts on generating letters from the database with formatting, and even possibly pictures, in them?

Much Aloha,
Koa

Hi Koa,

Formatting and pictures are not yet supported by the mail merge letter module unfortunately.

A work-around is to export the people you want to send a letter to into Microsoft Excel. Then create your letter template in Microsoft Word and do a mail merge there. It's not quite so easy as in Ascribe, but you'd get your formatting and picture included.

thanks,
Truman
