The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is wondering how to transport data from a database program into WordPerfect to be used for a mail merge. Solutions: Depending on the Database program, many routes can be taken that will give more or less steps to be taken with the final version of the mail merged document. An ASCII based format is the most time consuming route that could be taken. The user can merge a primary file directly with spreadsheet or database files if the spreadsheet or database program can export files in a delimited DOS text format. In order for WordPerfect to perform the merge, the user must tell WordPerfect what the delimiters are. This can be done by using the Setup feature.
