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
