No not from the merge itself, automation is the way out of the problem. The but I guarantee you if you had to load 500 .sxw files one at a time, convert them and then print them to file as .ps files you'd make mistakes. Hey try it at home. Count the clicks involved saving a single .sxw file as a postscript file. Sorry it defeats the entire purpose of a mail merge. It's like flying across two continents first class in a 747 and then crawling home from the airport on your hands and knees. b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
