From the point of view of someone charged with supporting and trouble
shooting approximately 125 mail mergers, I would caution you to add one
feature that is often neglected by Excel experts, normalize your data as much
as possible.
Break it up into first name, last name , several address fields as well as
separate city, stat and zip fields. This will allow far more flexibility in
sorting and filtering if required, although if you are using Offec 2002 or
later, you will be able to filter from the recipients list in the word mail
merge wizard, or toolbar. Normalizing may save you future headaches that
will require more sophisiticated parsing. You never know what the future of
you data requirments and uses will require.
