What's the best app. to use for making a mailing list for invitations to an event? Word, Excel, Google docs?

I use a MacBook, and it has Windows and Leopard available, so I'm flexible! Thanks!|||If you are going to be doing this on a regular basis, and you will be having many names and addresses to keep track of (like hundreds), then I would suggest a relational database application such as MS-Access.





Otherwise, a spreadsheet application will do. If you already have MS-Excel, then go ahead and use that, else download OpenOfffice.org which is FREE.





You may wish to consider breaking the Names and Addresses down into several "fields":


鈥? Salutation


鈥? First Name


鈥? Middle Name


鈥? Last Name


鈥? Suffix


鈥? Address-1


鈥? Address-2


鈥? City


鈥? State


鈥? ZipCode


鈥? etc....





It is much easier putting together various field values into a single string of data, than it is trying to break apart multiple values in a single field.
