How to create a new reminder letter

New reminder letters are created by:

1. Selecting the "Create New Letter" option on the Reminders menu.
2. Selecting the "Add New Letter" button on the "Letter Management" window.

"The Create a New Letter" window allows you to enter a name used to identify the letter.

Once you have entered the name of your new letter then the letter will be created and displayed in MS Word. The created letter is a Mail Merge letter and allows you to "Insert Merge Fields" that will automatically be filled when the reminder is generated. When editing a reminder letter the dummy patient "John Smith" is used. The dummy patient is replaced by the correct list of patients when the letter is previewed or printed.

When you are happy with the format of your letter, save the letter using the Save option on Words File menu and close the letter.

Reminder letters may be updated via the Letter Management window.
