Accelerator Macro Suite

The Office Accelerator Macro Suite makes it easy to merge any contact field in Office Accelerator to a merge document in Word or WordPerfect.  The Accelerator Macro Suite works by installing an Accelerator menu in your favorite word processor and provides pre-defined templates for merging contact data from Accelerator to letters, labels, forms, and phone book reports.  You can also create your own custom documents and include merge and substitution fields anywhere within your document making it simple to customize and automate repetitive document tasks.  If you work within a multi-user environment, you can also share custom documents with other Office Accelerator users.   

Before you can begin using the Accelerator Macro Suite, you will need to enable the Accelerator menu.  If you have not already enabled the Accelerator menu, please select the appropriate link below for instructions on how to enable the Accelerator menu in your Word Processor.
