In order to use the Global Mailshots program, the Select Letters to Send program or sending mailshots from Gap Analysis, you will need to prepare the letters to be sent.  

1.   The first task is to create a Letter code in Power-Gx.  Navigate to Gx CRM\Options\Letters To Send.
2.   Click here for instructions on creating Letters codes.  When the Letter code is setup, a new letter containing all the tags for the mail merge is copied from a system template, a template data source document for this letter code is automatically generated. 
3.   Open this new letter in Word and add the text and formatting that you require.
4.   Click here for instructions on using mail merge in Microsoft Word to insert merge fields, please note that these fields should already be present in the letter.  If you are using Windows XP follow the instructions here
5.   When you have arranged the merge fields in your template letter, save the document.  It is now ready for use with Global Mailshots, Select Letters to Send or Gap Analysis mailshots.  Click here for an example template letter with merge fields inserted.  The merge fields are highlighted in bold.
