>I second this approach. Users can compose their own letters to their liking. One thing with MSWord, it wont allow you to specify the same bookmark in more than one place. For example, if there's a rqmt to reference [LASTNAME] more than once in a DOC, you need to use a bookmark naming/numbering scheme of sorts for repeated bookmarks. [LASTNAME1] [LASTNAME2]

One thing i've done lately, to address those users who do not have MSWord, and because no one wants to look at a helpfile to find bookmarks, i've gone with a means of creating html template email files that are manipulated via the dhtml ocx object (which has been sorta retired in Vista!) on a form. And now the bookmarks are grouped into lists where the user can drag and drop from the lists into the template msg. So everything is contained in VFP. And no multiple bookmark counter-type issues. Just the issue of having a client email program that can read html emails. And the vista issues.
