Mail merge needs to be more than just merging names and addresses from the address book. As a teacher I need to put together class newsletter and personalize them to each student with first and last names, personal pronouns (he/she, his/hers, him/her) and the names of their parents, spelling grades and other information. I need to be able to merge these from some kind of database or spreadsheet. I don’t like Word even though I have it on my computer to view Word documents sent to me by others. So my suggestion is strengthen and simplify the mail merge feature. Bento, btw, doesn’t do mail merge well either.
