This function allows one to transform addresses into a consistent form, so that it is easier to merge these with other address lists and process further. This function can especially also be used to prepare addresses for form letters. Thus, the salutations for letters and addresses created by using the 'Determining the Salutation for Letters' function can be included in the standard address file. And in order to take advantage of the corresponding discounts offered by certain postal services, the standard address file can finally also be sorted according to the postal code, and in doing so the foreign addresses, grouped according to countries, are added to the end of the file.
