GRC
Format
Address
block format outputting software
GRCFormat is FREE to download and use.
Outputting name and
address data from your database in the wrong order not only reduces the chances
of the letter arriving, it is also guaranteed to irritate the recipient.
GRC
Format will output names and addresses from your data structure into the
correct format for label printing or mail merge. Its main features are:
|
|
Outputs data from 240 countries and territories |
|
|
Outputs data so that each field in the output file contains one line of the
address block. |
|
|
Seamlessly handles empty input fields. |
|
|
Accepts any data structure, provided that the company,
personal name and address name data in your data structure is not stored in
more than 30 fields. |
|
|
Accepts and outputs data in Microsoft Foxpro and dBase III+
formats (NB: if you have a request for GRC Format to accept a
particular data format, let us know!) |
|
|
Optional assignment of a user-defined string (for example,
"For the attention of the Managing Director") if no personal name
is contained in your data file. |
|
|
Optional assignment of an attention string in the correct
language (for example, "Attn:", "A l'Attention du",
"zu Händen" etc.) before the personal name. |
|
|
Optional assignment of a postbox string in the correct
language (for example, "Postbox", "Boite Postal", "Postfach
etc.) before the postbox number. |
|
|
Optional assignment of the country name in English or French
(NB: if you would like GRC Format to be able to output country
names in other languages also, let us know!) |
|
|
Can handle different address formats in multi-lingual
countries such as Switzerland (when the language is coded). |
|
|
Optional assignment of punctuation marks where required. |
|
|
Automatically assigns extra spacing and empty lines when the
format requires this. |
|
|
Outputs only one address type (postbox or address) when both
are present in your database for countries where only one is required for
delivery. |
