Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Does anyone know if you can do a mail merge to email WITH attachments? My email is in word, my mailing list is in excel, and I have 2 pdf's that I want to attach. I tried Word help and didn't see anything.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ita, I use NeoOffice, and it's been fine. I will say, my use of OFFICE is limited and pretty basic. Not sure if it will be fully compatible with advanced features. YRMV. Worth a look. It does *not* require installing X-11. So typical keyboard shortcuts still use the command key, not the option key.

There is OpenOffice 3, it supports docx. However, it is only at the RC stage right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not going to be free, is it? Well, it will be much more affordable.

I'm pretty sure it will be free. I have OpenOffice 3 installed and it works pretty well for the light duty stuff I do.

Right--Star Office isn't free.

Sophia,

mail merge was the bane of my existence. the only suggestion I can offer is try thunderbird. they have a mail merge add-on that worked really well for me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

anybody signed up for AT&T uverse? I seem to have done it. It looks like it will save me money -- and it solves my non-HD dvr problem .

and any one use VOIP as there main phone? I didn't do that ( but I did change my phone plan) - just curious if it works for anyone
