I'M NOT REALLY SURE, IF I'M WORDING THIS CORRECTLY, BUT MY FRIEND SHOWED ME
HIS DATABASE IN MICROSOFT WORD. HE HAD BASIC INFORMATION SUCH AS NAME,
ADDRESS, CITY ETC. AND USED THIS DATABASE TO GENERATE MAILING LABLES, AND
USED SOME OF THE FIELDS IN HIS DATA BASE TO GENERATE LETTERS.

MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO CREAT THE SAME DATABASE, BUT WITH DIFFERENT FIELDS TO
FIT MY LINE OF BUSINESS, BUT I NEED ASSISTANCE IN CREATING THE DATABASE
FIRST. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIEATED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Both Office (Word) and Works have databases. I am only experienced with
Works but it is probably basically the same. Think of it as a spreadsheet
where each column is a field. You name the fields (columns). You can have a
formula that will insert data based on data in other fields or just text.
When you start a database program it will prompt you to enter the field
names and type.

When you are in Works or Word select the option for mail merge. It will ask
for the database name and then you can insert the field names within the
text document.

You then print the mail merge document and one will be printed for each
record selected from the database.

Fix your Caps Lock key, it's stuck. Posting all capitals is the same as
SHOUTING!

Tables. Open Word and hit F1, type table in the Search box.

Create a table
