Dear Tracy
<<Glad you are getting a positive response.>>
I was so pleased by the response to the new WordPerfect 6.x macro that I went
ahead and did the WinWord 6.x version (additional details in "WinWord
Template/Macro!") It is functionally identical to the WordPerfect version and
looks exactly the same: it differs only in that it is a template and that it is
an incremental enhancement of the WordPerfect version.
All eight of the WinWord template's available Business and Home address lines
can be modified to any valid DDE item in Address Book, for example <COUNTRY>,
<ZIP> or <DEPT NO>. This feature is obviously useful for those who enter their
data "logically" in Address Book (line 1, 2, 3 rather than line 1, 3, 2; the
template lets them switch the address elements to display correctly), and for
non-US users who may want <ZIP> or <HOME ZIP> to display on a line by itself.
The WinWord template is numbered 2.1 as it meets and slightly exceeds the
feature set of the current 2.0 WordPerfect version. The WordPerfect version
will be upgraded in a few weeks when WPWin 6.1 comes out. It will take
advantage of new features in 6.1, will have user-definable default address
elements, and will be a template.
<<I'm sure Konstantin and our developers can handle DTS 5.0 but we appreciate
the offer.<g> >>
OK, maybe not 5.0, but I'm wondering if an Ami Pro version of the
template/macro can be far behind… (Will I ever get that new script
finished?<g>)

P.S. As I know you're a WinWord user, I'll e-mail you a copy on Monday.
