Including our fast built-in word processor, all the features of word processors like Microsoft Word and Corel Wordperfect are available to you when creating individual Quickletters or Mail Merges. Font changes, graphics, tables, all these are are supported because Contact Plus uses the native file formats of these popular word processors.

Once you have a number of records in the database you may want to work with only a subset of those records, like for a mail merge. This tool is called filters (at right). Criteria for filters can be based on contact fields like Company, or events like Calls. A more complex filter could use a combination of criteria.

Filters are used in conjunction with many features in Contact Plus Professional besides mail merge. Because of this, it is recommended that at least a working knowledge of their use is important.

You can create simple filters such as "Category equals H". Examples of more complex ones could be "State equals FL and DateAdded is after 4/6/99" or "Zip starts with 329 and EventType equals Call".

In the example at left, Contact Plus Pro would select "Contacts in New York with category P and user field 2 is greater than 20". This filter could be used for a mail merge, report, labels, or many other features.
