I'm sorry, but this is currently a limitation of askSam's editor. There is no way that I know of to enter Chinese characters into askSam. This is something that might be possible with a future version of askSam.

Yes, you can use the conditional IF statements when creating a Mail Merge document. These behave the same as they would in a report. The IF statement command can be found under the MAIL MERGE > IF STATEMENT.. menu when editing your mail merge document.

Importing AOL email into askSam 8/11/2008 5:21:12 PM   (Total replies: 1)
Hi guys, I just stumbled across an interesting AOL help article that might be useful to askSam users who are also using AOL.

Re: OpenOffice documents 4/19/2004 11:36:31 AM   (Total replies: 0)
This product has not been tested with askSam. If you are not able to import directly from OpenOffice, you might be able to save your documents to a format that askSam is able to import, such as Rich Text Format (*.RTF) or Plain Text (*.TXT). Perhaps some other users on this forum can share some of their experiences importing from this application.

Re: Vista Compatibility? 2/2/2007 5:51:53 PM   (Total replies: 3)
The current version of askSam (6.1.2.805) runs well on Windows Vista.
