Extension: Now Contact Merge Template

Developer: Now Software

The .mrg file extension is specifically linked to Now Contact, a contact management application developed by Now Software. These files aren’t generic merge templates; they’re designed exclusively for use within the Now Contact program. An .mrg file acts as a blueprint, containing pre-formatted text and special merge fields. These fields are placeholders that automatically populate with data from your Now Contact database when you generate a document. This allows for efficient mass mailings, personalized letters, or the creation of customized labels – all without manually entering the same information repeatedly. Think of it as a template that dynamically pulls information to create unique documents based on your contact list. Understanding this specialized nature is crucial, as attempting to open an .mrg file with a generic word processor or text editor will likely result in unreadable gibberish.

To successfully open and utilize an .mrg file, you’ll need to have Now Contact installed on your computer. The file is inherently tied to this software and won’t function independently. Once Now Contact is installed, you should be able to open the .mrg file directly within the application. The exact process might involve a “New” or “Open” command within the program’s merge document creation feature. Consult Now Contact’s documentation or help files if you encounter difficulty. Remember, the .mrg file’s purpose is to streamline the creation of multiple documents based on your contact information within the Now Contact environment. Trying to use it outside of that context will be unproductive.
