FileMaker is a single purpose program. It can concentrate onbeing the best of databases without trying to do everything, andthat greatly contributes to FileMaker's excellence.

On the Macintosh, however, all programs can be "integrated" withothers simply by Obeying the conventions necessary to run incooperation with the Switcher and exhange data through theclipboard.

Simple form letters can be created completely within FileMaker,bul, for complete mail merge capability, it can be teamed up withMicrosoft word. This combination provides the best of bothdatabase and word processing working together.

Using Switcher, FileMaker and Word can run at the same time,allowing you to instantly direct your attention to either youraddress list or the letter you are preparing to send.
