Batch-Convert Legacy Letter Library Documents
Use Data Tool (142) - Convert Merge Documents to batch-convert all of your legacy mail merge documents to the ViewPoint 11 database format. If you choose not to run the conversion data tool, each letter will be converted automatically the first time you merge it with ViewPoint. (Unconverted documents appear with a yellow icon in your Letter Library.)
Use This Feature
The ViewPoint 11 (and greater) mail merge feature requires at least Word 2007.
