Default Adding Fields or Mapping Fields to Contact Information

Hello All,

I hope I'm able to explain what I'm attempting to do. Here we go.

I would like to be able to select a contact from the To... button and have
the information from the contact, such as company name, contacts first name
entered into particular fields in a template message. For example, I would
like the name of a contact to be automatically entered after Dear , . Also, I
would like the company name to be entered in certain parts of a message.

I hope that explains what I need. If you can help I would be truly
appreciative.


Thanks in advance.


Cheers

Carlton

Just use a mail merge. You can read up on mail merges in the Help files and
on several online sites like this one:
