Question

(a) Explain Mail Merge with example.
(b) Write the steps of doing mail merge.
(c) What are its advantages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mail merge consists of combining mail and letters and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass mailings from a form letter.

This feature is usually employed in a word processing document which contains fixed text (which is the same in each output document) and variables (which act as placeholders that are replaced by text from the data source).

Some word processors can insert content from a database, spreadsheet, or table into text documents.

It is a powerful tool for writing a personalized letter or e-mail to many people at the same time. It imports data from another source such as a spreadsheet and then uses that to replace placeholders throughout the message with the relevant information for each individual that is being messaged.

Answer:

• Mail Merge is a process of creating personalized letters, pre-addressed envelopes which is a document consisting of fixed contents same for each output document, and placeholders for variable text, that make each copy of the document unique.
• This unique information for the placeholders is taken from a data source.
