Prepare Templates & Mail

Hi,

I have to wokr out in an application where user can write/open/save letters. Then I have to mail merge that letter with the data source I have. I use MS Access and Vb.NET 2005.

Also, I should have basic word features like in any mail - B, I, U, Align, Font etc.

I am wondering how can I do it - If i save the letter in a doc file, then how to perform the mail merge thing. Usualy mal merge in word has <<firstname>> ... such tags & data is set for those tags & process is done. How can and how sould I perform the activities.

I also have to give Print facility

Please help me out. I am in a hurry, looking from couple of days for this problem but couldn't find any substantial help line.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
