-The program works by looking for the Nbr Abs Req and comparing it to the current
-total absences for the student. If the current total absences is greater than the
-Nbr Abs Req for several letters with the same Letter Type, Absence Type, and Period
-Type, then the letter with the closest Nbr Abs Req (that is not over the current
-total absences) will print. If it does not have Select for Prt selected, a letter
-is not printed. Select for Prt does not control whether the letter is generated,
-only whether the letters, once generated, are printed. For this reason, it is recommended
-that you leave Select for Prt selected for all letters (except Mail out (no ltr control),
-which will print every time if it is left selected).
-The setting for the field is saved so you can run the same letter again throughout
-the year without having to reselect the field. Only letters that were not previously
-printed are generated. For example, if a letter with the Nbr Abs Req field set to
-is printed for a student, the same letter is not generated again.
-The Four-Week Truancy and Six-Month Truancy letters are generated according to the
-number of unexcused absences, so a student may receive multiple truancy letters.
-This field is disabled if a letter body does not exist for the letter type.
-Multiple letters can be selected and processed at one time.
-If you are using prerequisite IDs, it is recommended that you select all letters
-in the set of letters with prerequisite IDs to ensure that each student gets the
-appropriate letters.
-Click Run to process the selected letters. The Letters tab is displayed.
