Subject: Another exotic WordStar query
I'm trying to use MailMerge to assemble letters containing multiple lines of
information extracted from multiple data files, without success.
I have two data files, one containing a list of people who are to be included
in a seminar, and the other containing a list of the people who will moderate
the seminar (actually three or four different seminar groupings, all to run
concurrently). I need to generate two sets of letters:
1. Extract a data record from list 1 to be the addressing information, and a
data record from list 2 to tell the addressee when and where the seminar
is to be, and by whom it will be moderated. (For a seminar with three
groups, this set will contain between 15 and 18 letters.)
2. Extract a data record from list 2 to be the addressing information, and
six selected records from list 1, to tell the addressed moderator the
names, etc., of the people who will be in his or her group. (For a
seminar with three groups, this set will contain three letters.)
Am I trying to do the impossible?
Thanks for any help,
