Instructions to print
vehicle cost letters from the Vin Decode programs
You can print vehicle cost letters for vehicles you want
more information on at any point after importing the current motor vehicle list
into the program. We have designed
letters for specific class codes. The
letters are available on the ESP website for download.
They are also included with the program starting in 2013.
You will need to change the date and your
signature at the bottom of the word document.
The instructions to do this are at the bottom of the page.
Click on "Reports and Exports".
Click "Print, Export, Merge Mail selected records". The
program will have all the records in your current motor vehicle list selected.
If you click the "only needing info" box at the top right
of the screen, the program will uncheck all records that already have a value.
You can review your list of vehicles and check or uncheck
any vehicle by clicking or unclicking on the print box for that vehicle.

of the screen to select a specific class code."
This will allow you to print a letter designed for a specific vehicle
class code.
You can then click on the "Hide unchecked records" box so
the program only shows the vehicles you are about to print letters for.
Click the "Merge Mail" box at the bottom left of the
screen.

You can then select the word document you would like to use
for your cost letter merge mail and click "select".

now show on the screen." If they are not
correct, then click Browse to find and select the correct documents.
