You've got the idea. Mail-merge (in any word-processor) will do 
the truck.
In Word6 (But I suppose for Word7 too) I could set up a table 
whose columns are name, address, postcode, etc., with a column 
for a coded field.
If selection criteria are all binary (they sent/did not send me a 
Christmas present last year, they do/do not own a pet, ...) your 
codes could be binary, combined into one value that occupies one 
column of the table.
Thus "sent me"=0/1, "own"=0/2, car="0/4", "sex=0/8" etc. A female 
owning a car but not a pet, and did send me a present would be 
represented by the codes 1, 0, 4, 8 and so I'd put the value 13 
in the column.
