Answers
Explanation:
New list
If you don't have a data source yet, choose Type a New List, and then use the form that opens to create your list. The list is saved as a database (.mdb) file that you can reuse.
For details about creating a new list, see Set up a new mail merge list with Word.
Existing list
An existing list might be an Excel spreadsheet, Access database, or some other type of database. To use it as your data source, choose Use an Existing List.
Important: No matter what type of file you use as a data source, be sure to save it on your local computer or a file share; saving at an HTTP location isn't supported for mail merge.
Excel spreadsheet An Excel spreadsheet works well as a data source for mail merge if all data is well-formatted and on one sheet so that it can be read by Word. For more information, see Prepare your Excel data source for a Word mail merge.
Access database With Access, you can select data from any table or query defined in the database. For more information, see Use mail merge to send Access data to Word.
Other database files To access other kinds of data sources, you'll run the Data Connection Wizard:
Go to Mailings > Select Recipients > Use an Existing List, then choose New Source to open the Data Connection Wizard.

Choose the type of data source you want to use for the mail merge, and then select Next.

Outlook contact list
You can retrieve contact information directly from your Outlook contact list in Word. To use this as your data source, choose Choose from Outlook Contacts. For more information, see Use Outlook contacts as a data source for a mail merge.
