50000 letters without crashing the Printer or MS Word using WordFusion
The Problem
A common problem with doing mass mail outs of 10's of thousands of letters using
MS Word is that memory and printer spooling issues can often cause your computer
to hang or the printer to stop responding. You then have to crash out of Word
leaving you with a partially completed print run, and a 5pm deadline looming.
WordFusion provides an alternative method that does not rely on the stability of
Word to do high volume print runs. The data control allows you to connect to any
ODBC data source like Access, SQL Server, Excel and paradox to list a few. By
connecting this data control to a data source and linking it to Document
template you can reliably run large mail merge runs.
Another feature allows you to pause and restart the print run during the mail
merge.

The WordFusion document assembly (Mail Merge) engine is integrated with the data control to
provide document assembly features above and beyond those provided by simple
mail merge.
