Answer 2

Explanation:

Mail Merge is a useful tool that allows you to produce multiple letters, labels, envelopes, name tags, and more using information stored in a list, database, or spreadsheet. When performing a Mail Merge, you will need a Word document (you can start with an existing one or create a new one) and a recipient list, which is typically an Excel workbook.

Optional: If you'd like to work along with the lesson, you can download the examples below:

Watch the video below to learn more about using the Mail Merge feature.

To use Mail Merge:

Open an existing Word document, or create a new one.

From the Mailings tab, click the Start Mail Merge command and select Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard from the drop-down menu.

The Mail Merge pane will appear and guide you through the six main steps to complete a merge. The following example demonstrates how to create a form letter and merge the letter with a recipient list.

Step 1:

From the Mail Merge task pane on the right side of the Word window, choose the type of document you want to create. In our example, we'll select Letters. Then click Next: Starting document to move to Step 2.

Step 2:

Select Use the current document, then click Next: Select recipients to move to Step 3.

Step 3:

Now you'll need an address list so Word can automatically place each address into the document. The list can be in an existing file, such as an Excel workbook, or you can type a new address list from within the Mail Merge Wizard.

Select Use an existing list, then click Browse to select the file.

Locate your file, then click Open.

If the address list is in an Excel workbook, select the worksheet that contains the list, then click OK.

In the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, you can check or uncheck each box to control which recipients are included in the merge. By default, all recipients should be selected. When you're done, click OK.

Click Next: Write your letter to move to Step 4.

completing step 3 of the mail merge

If you don't have an existing address list, you can click the Type a new list button and click Create, then type your address list manually.

Step 4:

Now you're ready to write your letter. When it's printed, each copy of the letter will basically be the same; only the recipient data (such as the name and address) will be different. You'll need to add placeholders for the recipient data so Mail Merge knows exactly where to add the data.
