Mail Merge Tools In Word Document


Word offers powerful mail merge tools for those who want to mail personalized documents to family, friends, and business associates. After you have a data source of contacts, sending a personalized document to them is simple.

Most people use mail merge to send personalized letters to contacts stored in some kind of name and address data source. Your source might be from Outlook or a Microsoft Access database. You can also type names and addresses directly into a Word document using a specific format and personalize letters so you address each contact individually in each letter.

To perform a mail merge, you must create or select a data source, create a form letter called the main document, and then print each personalized letter for each contact in your data source. Basically, one personalized letter will print for each contact in your source list.
