It allows the user to author letters. It is +designed to improve on the default \LaTeX\ \texttt{letter} class in several ways. + +More flexible placement of information is allowed. It allows flexible +positioning of address blocks (date, from-block, to-block, signature). They may +be flush right, flush left or centered. Each may be positioned separately. +Commands are included to modify the spacing between blocks. + +Using the \texttt{fancyhdr} and \texttt{geometry} styles, \texttt{newlfm} +allows the inclusion of letterhead-style information. The user encases the +object to be placed in the form in a box, and then supplies it to +\texttt{newlfm}. \texttt{newlfm} then determines the appropriate margins. +\LaTeX tools for image management may be used (\texttt{graphics}). +Additionally, the user may include these boxes containing letterhead +information, but not print them; this allows precise placement on +pre-printed letterhead stationary. + +Memos may be printed using the same tools as letters. Thus, addresses (if +requested) may be printed on the memo in the same manner as addresses are +printed on letters. Several versions of the memo header are supported. + +\texttt{newlfm} uses an address book. The address book allows the user +to include addresses in a single file, within a ``wrapper macro.'' The +addresses are then included in a letter using a single command, the name of +the wrapper. This is very convenient, as addresses need be typed once, and +thereafter used via the wrapper name. + +\texttt{newlfm} supports mass-mailing of form letters. This is done by +specifying a common body (which may include macros to allow customization). +Addresses for repeat mailings may then be specified. + +Envelopes may be prepared with either the \texttt{envlab} package. This +enables the address used in the letter to be printed on a following page +immediately. Several versions of Avery labels are also supported. + +\texttt{newlfm} will print a fax header page at the start for either the +letter or memo approach. + |
