Cyber, thanks for the response. The degree of personalization would be
limited to name and address in the letter and on the envelope. Using form
field seems to work by minimizing some typing but I'm not aware enough of
what other things I could be doing. There are not any data bases
involved.
What simple benefits could mail merge offer that I may consider?

Based on your reference to a 'mail campaign', are you familiar with
Word's
Mail Merge features? If you are sending a form letter to multiple
recipients
(even with a significant degree of personalization per letter) that
would
provide what you are looking for much more effectively with a great deal
more
options.

address line (I'm using a form field), I'd like the same name to be
automatically entered after "Dear".

Appreciate your time and help!
