ProFile Professional Filing --------------------------- The ProFile Professional Filing System is a sophisticated tool designed to help you keep track of the people, customers and contacts that are important to you. Any information can be filed and maintained. ProFile allows you to file and retrieve information, create meaningful reports, and print labels. And, it can share information with other software programs, such as word processors or spreadsheets. It can also help you prepare bulk mailings with its advanced bulk mail sort. The program is designed so you can get started quickly and easily. After you are comfortable with the system you may then expand to use its more powerful features as you need them.
