Yes, I recently did this for a non-profit that has 400 members. The first version was done in Cocoon and I later wrote a short program to contain it all (end user has a desktop). One advantage of XSL-FO is the fact that it can place areas using many units of measurement. Canada Post 'standards' are in millimetres. Check with the US Post Office to see if you get preferred rates for correctly formatted envelopes. You really want an envelope feeder if you do very many. Do you need style sheets? I was thinking of donating them to the sourceforge project that supports a church membership data base. You work in such a pretty location. I used to live off Table Mesa. -- John Austin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
