RE: [sqr-users] reading a word doc

Here's a suggestion if this is only one style of letter with multiple output 
using SQR-retrieved mailing address (i.e., mail merge).

Use an existing output file of the letter as a template (print-to-file from 
windows). You'll need at least a two page letter. Examine the postscript file 
in a text editor. Place the pre-address portion of the first letter into one 
file and the post-address portion, including page-break commands, into another 
file. Also, look at any postscript formatting that may be embedded within the 
address lines.

In your SQR program, read the pre-address file into one array and the 
post-address file into a second array.  For every address that your SQR program 
retrieves: dump the pre-address array; write the address (with any embedded 
postscript noted previously); dump the post-address array.

Not as simple as George's suggestion to use WORD's mail merge (i.e., let your 
SQR program generate the addresses that are then used by WORD in a mail merge), 
but it should work.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to create letters dynamically using a 
source file as an input in SQR. The source file usually will contain graphics 
and the actual letter. The sqr program is supposed to read this source file and 
generate a postscript letter by adding mailing address on the header.
   
  Any comment , suggestion is welcome
   
  Thanks
