YUMPU automatically turns print PDFs into web optimized ePapers that Google loves.

Note: Be aware that once data records have been selected they remain selected<br />

until they are explicitly deselected. So, if you select records, first with<br />

NAME1=Smith and then with NAME1=Jenkins, all records with the name Smith<br />

or Jenkins will be selected. If in fact only the Jenkins are to receive letters, you<br />

must deselect all data records by invoking the command Select > Deselect all<br />

records before you apply the condition NAME1=Jenkins.<br />
