I looked at it Bob, thanks, but I just had a giant brain fart and 
couldn't get my head around it. I probably have to admit that I 
wasn't trying as hard as I could have been; I wasn't pushed enough 
because by the time I needed it, my need was actually decreasing -- 
the era of mass physical mailing was coming to an end and email was 
taking over. In addition, NW was handling mail merge pretty well, 
although you couldn't configure it to handle labels printing too as 
you could AW (AW was THE mail merge machine), abd old reliable 
Personal Organizer was (and is) continuing to handle the contacts 
perfectly fine.

The physical mailing stuff is dead now -- just a few weeks ago, I dug 
out 2500 envelopes from the bottom of my stationery cupboard and sold 
them for a song on eBay. Been sitting there for 4-5 years. And a 
whole lot of paper.

Such is life.

Cheers, geoff
