Hi ?B?RnJhbg==?=,

I have a form letter that is in Power Point. The area for the name & address
in inside a text box. I am not able to use it for mail merge. Is there an
alternative? I tried just saving it as a Word document but tht didn't work
either.

Powerpoint does not have a mail merge functionality. If you want to create
letters, you'll have to copy the TEXT (not the text boxes) into Word, format it,
and link in the data source.

Otherwise, for bringing data into PowerPoint you need a VBA (programming)
solution and you have to ask in the powerpoint newsgroup.
