Answer 1

Explanation:

Six Steps to Completing a Mail-Merge

Mail merging means to plug data from an address table into form letters, e-mail

messages, envelopes, address labels, or a directory (a list or catalog, for example).

To start a mail merge, choose Tools | Letters and Mailings | Mail Merge Wizard to

open the Mail Merge task pane.

Step 1: Select a Document Type

The first step is to select what Word calls a “document type” in the Mail Merge task

pane, what kind of mail-merge you want to undertake: form letters, e-mail messages,

envelopes for mass-mailings, labels for mass-mailings, or a directory (a list or

catalog). Choose an option button and click Next at the bottom of the task pane to go

to step 2.

Step 2: Select a Starting Document

What Word calls the “starting document” is the document in which the merging takes

place. In other words, the address or other data you retrieve will land in the document

you choose or create now.

You can create a new start document or use an existing one. In the case of labels and

envelopes, you tell Word what size labels or envelopes you intend to print on. In the

case of form letters, e-mail messages, and directories, you supply the text either by

making use of a document you’ve written already or writing a new document.

Step 3: Select Recipients

In step 3, you tell Word where to get the data that you will merge into the starting

document you created or supplied in step 2. You can retrieve the data from a table in

a Word document, an Access database table or query, or the address book or contact

list where you store your addresses. You can also create a new list for the data if you

haven’t entered the data in a file yet.

Step 4: Write/Arrange Your Document

In step 4, you insert the merge fields, the parts of the starting document that differ

from recipient to recipient. By inserting merge fields, you tell Word where to plug

information from the data source into the starting document. You also tell Word

which data to take from the data source. Word offers special tools for entering an

address block – the recipient’s address, including his or her name, company, title,

street address, city, and zip code.

Step 5: Preview Your Document

In step 5, you get a chance to see what your form letters, e-mail messages, envelopes,

labels, or directory will look like after they are printed or sent. In this step, you find

out what the document will look like when real data is plugged into it.If something is amiss in the document, you can click the Previous link to return to

step 4, the Write/Arrange your document task pane, and make changes there.

Step 6: Complete the Merge

Step 6 is where you complete the merge by either printing a new document or saving

the new file and printing it later. By saving the merged data in a new file, you can

edit the file before printing it. In the case of e-mail messages, you click the Electronic

Mail link to tell Word to send the e-mail messages.
