Hello,

I have a question that I hope someone can answer.  I am learning Python =
with an end in mind.

I have several form letters in Word and a flat file database in Excel =
for addresses.  What I am looking to do is to have a onestop place for =
data entry.  It's not just about mail merge because I do have to make a =
couple of changes to the form letter itself but basically the letters =
stay the same. I would like to  keep the data entry information in =
another flat file in Excel for a few of the letters to generate reports.

I'm not looking for fancy GUI's, just something that works.
Is this something Python can do.

If you have any input I would appreciate it.
Billie
