How about XLS?

Excel 2000 will transparently import tab-delimited files that have a ".xls"
extension. You can put a link on the web site that causes a script to
generate tab-delimited output and specify the filename as
"meberlist.xls". They should be able to use that in mail merges.

Another solution is to setup an ODBC connection from each PC to the
PostgreSQL database. Users can then use Access to update the data and
provide it to their mail merge documents.
