Press the OK button – this will produce the report From menu select File/Save As Save the file under the folder and name you require
You can use the CSV file as input to the MS Word mail merge
Alternate Solution (MS Access Databases Only) – Link directly to the database from MS Word
Start the CMS Admin Tool and select the Data Folders tab
Copy the contents of the Main data directory – this is where the membership database is stored.
In MS Word start the mail merge process.
When you come to the section which allows you to pick the recipients select Browse or Use existing list
Paste the folder name into the Select Data Source dialog box and press Open
In that folder select the membership.mdb access file. (Note the .mdb may not be shown)
