I use lyx and am using it more and more in what I call "mailmerge" mode, 
similar to how I 
once used mailmerge in Wordstar.  Once I have a good form document (say a will 
or a 
contract) I replace the names with, say "@name1" and then I replace all @name1 
with the 
new data, e.g. "Judy Jones".

This works fine, but on longer documents (say a 40 page document) with, say 
@name1 
through @name12, it can get a bit confusing.  I put all the replacement data in 
a separate lyx 
file and go back and forth to that file until I have made all replacements.

I use article class.

Is there perhaps a better layout or class or perhaps something else lyx that I 
should be 
using?

Thanks

John
