This utility package is built around a 6k memory resident program called GRAB. This 6k TSR will allow you to print the address from within your word processor in two key strokes! GRAB will pop up over your word processor, capture the name and address and send it formatted to an envelope in your printer. GRAB will work on any printer that will hold an envelope including PostScript. The program makes special use of envelope trays, and feeds of the popular laser printers making a normally tough task a snap! The program also supports soft fonts for laser printers thus allowing your envelopes to match the letters. The utility package also comes with it's own database system called GRABDB. This database program will allow you to store thousands of names and addresses for fast retrieval and printing of envelopes. You're allowed to have the address formatted in several different formats used in both the business as well as personal correspondence world. The program also can export to the comma delimited format which may be used by many word processors for mail merge operations. GRAB Plus with LaserLabel, Version 5.7 - Vendor.DOC The final program in this package is LaserLabel. This program allows you to turn the data files from the GRABDB program into a powerful mail label printing program. You can even have soft fonts for use on the popular laser printers giving the labels a great visual impact! This collection is a must for anyone that types letter on a computer. It takes a complicated task and makes it easy. GRAB Plus with LaserLabel is a must for all computers. 1.7 Quotes from Reviews, Articles and Users: "If your looking for the consummate envelope addressor, GRAB Plus is the package for you."
