- MAILSHOT - Operating Notes
-
- To select a menu option, simply use the up and down cursor keys to
- highlight the option required, and press RETURN. Alternatively, press
- the appropriate key corresponding to the first letter of the menu
- option (eg A to Add).
-
- Please Note: The mouse version of Mailshot is not provided on this
- demonstration, although it is included when you purchase the program.
-
- Markers: You have 4 Markers, assigned to function keys 1-4. By setting
- say, Marker 1 onto the surname of each address when adding or editing
- labels, you can then use this to perform surname sorting.
-
- When sorting (ORDER), enter the line or Marker number (eg L4, M4) and
- then select ORDER from the Exit line.
-
- When searching, firstly select where you wish to search:
- ANY - look on every line
- L + Line number - look on specified line
- M + Marker number - look on specified Marker
-
-
- Then the condition:
- = - equal
- # - not equal
- < - less than
- <= - less than or equal
- > - greater than
- >= - greater than or equal
- =clash - detect duplicate labels
-
- Then finally, the requirement (eg Smith)
-
- Putting this together, an example might be:
- L3 = Devon, M1 # Smith, ANY <= 24
-
- You may also link several search criteria by using AND, OR, NOT
- (enclose all separate search criteria in brackets).
-
- Generally, remember to leave one space between each section of the
- search.
