Information Technology For Managers: MS Word

Mail merge allows creating mass mailings by combining a form letter template with an external data source like an Excel spreadsheet. The data source provides recipient information that is inserted into placeholders in the letter template. The mail merge wizard guides users through selecting a starting document, choosing recipients from a data file, writing the personalized letter, previewing letters, and completing the merge to output finished letters.

Mail Merge
Mail merge consists in combining mail and letters and
pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass
mailings from a form letter(a letter written from a
template)

Mail Merge 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 Excel and
then uses that to replace placeholders throughout the
message with the relevant information for each
individual that is being messaged.
