Note: If you don’t have DAZzle version 2.6b or later, these procedures work for single addresses but the Print List From File and Dial-A-ZIP List From File options will affect only the first address in your ACT! list. You need to upgrade to the current version of DAZzle, which was rewritten to work with ACT! version 3.0.
