making mailing lists?

blink · Coach

Outlook or Word. I haven't done this in a few years, but I did use the "wizard" in Word to somehow create a mailing list so that I could print envelope or letterheads for clients all at once. Sorry I can't remember how I did it, but I had to figure it out on my own and I know I used Word for the majority of it. I just can't remember if I imported from Outlook or not. Ask paperclip guy. :>

I put all the info in excel and then do a mail merge with it in word.

That's what I do too.

Postal mailing or e-mailing?

If it is a postal mailing, do it in excel. Otherwise, do it in outlook or groupmail.

Any mailing lists that I have ever done, I have used Excel as the main database and then used mail merge or uploaded them into Outlook. I've also seen some companies that use Access (which is a database program). But it's horrible and has a lot of glitches. I had to use it for my first internship and it was awful.

What everyone else said. *s*

For customers who want snail mail, I enter their info into Excel and then mail merge with Word.

For customers who want e-mail, I enter them into Outlook and then put them in a "Customer" group. Then I e-mail to myself, BCC'ing the group so the e-mail addresses don't go out to everyone else.
