 - Better instructions are neededI have had trouble getting the information in to the program. There are no instructions as to providing "Mr. and Mrs." for mail - no instructions for what some of the categories are for. If I could figure it out, I think I would like it. So far, I have entered some addresses but have not been able to use the program successfully. Wasted money? Maybe not. Maybe I just need more time to figure it out. But........ A suggestion would be for someone writing software to try to use it. Rating:  - All programs should be this user-friendlyWay back in the DOS days of computer, I relied on a simple, but very usable program called "My Mail List" for my various mailing list needs, which included membership and mailing lists for several rather large organizations. A couple of computers and Windows operating systems later, I finally needed to find another program to use...and was delighted to find that "My Mail List" was actually still out there. Version 7 is extremely easy to use, allows, in addition to the usual fields, 6 fields that can be customized by the user. The user can print addresses for labels, envelopes, letters, booklets, postcards and shipping labels, all of which can be designed by the user from a template. Address book data can be entered on a "data entry" window, which looks like filling out a form, or be entered on a data table, which looks much like an Excel file or other database file. If the user already has an address book in another program to import to My Mail List, that can be done using common .csv, .tsv, .txt or .exp file formats. My Mail List files can also be exported to other programs (such as Excel) by being saved in one of those common file formats as well. There are a lot of nice little features in this program, and the help section and user's guide are very well organized and easy to understand. The only thing that might be a little confusing is that when a mailing list is saved (generally to My Documents), there are actually four files that are saved. There is the main file, which the user clicks on to open the address list and the program, and three supporting files, which are not opened by the user, but just have to be there for the list to work properly. The files are easy to tell apart because the icon of the "main" file is different from the other 3. Anyone who may e-mail a list to someone else would need to remember to include all 4 files. Rating: - My Mail List and Address BookI am highly pleased with this product. It is so easy to organize your addresses and the items you can produce from this software is amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an easy creative way to store and print-out their addresses & mail lists. B.Godwin
