Extended Mail Merge features
Resolution
Extended Mail Merge differs from previous Mail Merge in the following ways:
* XMM runs server-side (no client Active X required any more)
* XMM allows envelopes and labels
* XMM does work with Office 2007 & 2010(document must be saved in a 97-2003 DOC format)
* XMM works for all browsers (MM is just MSIE)
* XMM sends the resulting word doc out in email
* XMM allows an option to copy resulting word doc into Documents tab also
* XMM allows multiple items per merge
NOTE: Mail Merge & Extended Mail Merge use same templates:
Setup | Communications Templates | Mail Merge Templates
