How do I setup a 500 name address list?
 

A local lawyer has recently given me the job of setting-up a 500 name address
list which will be used to send out newsletters. I was wondering if anyone
out there had any ideas as to a very professional and crisp template that I
could use to make this thing look spectacular. I will be using Microsoft
Excel. No specail version, just excel. I'm sort of starting from the bottom
here.

Thank you.

Why excel instead of Access? However, if you do it in
excel set it up so it is easily transferable to a database
like Access. Think of all the uses it might/could be used
for. Planning a head sure helps down the line.

If I were to do it in Excel I still would break down
separate small fields (columns): FirstName, LastName,
CompanyName, StreetAdd1, StreetAdd2,City, State, Zip,

This way you would be able to sort the list by any of the
above. Also could limit the list by City or State,
sending only to people in AZ etc.

Thanks a lot for your help, FM. The reason I do not use Access, is because
the man who employed me did not request that. He specified Excel.
