Pick the addressing method you prefer to use on mailings. If a customer does not have a spouse’s name in the customer profile, then just the first name and title will be used. After making a section you will be prompted to confirm:

 

 

        You have chosen number:  3. Is this correct? Yes No  <Esc>=Quit

 

 

 

Next you will also be asked if you want to convert your mailing list to all-capitals (e.g. JOHN SMITH) or mixed upper- and lower-case (e.g. John Smith).

 

 

   Should customer names & addresses be converted to UPPER case only? Yes No

 

 

 

At the same time, the program can convert the vendor list to all-capitals (e.g. CITIZEN WATCHES, INC.) or mixed upper- and lower-case (e.g. Citizen Watches, Inc.). Pressing <Esc> will cancel the next process.
