Mail Merge

During this lesson i learn how to use Mail Merge. Mail Merge is a software product that uses a file of names and addresses, together with a template document, to produce multiple copies.I used the Mail Merge to create letters and other documents.
To start the Mail Merge in the new Word 2007, click on the Mailings tab.
Then When you click on the arrow beside Start Mail Merge, a drop-down list appears as shown below. Select the last option, Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.
This brings up the task pane, Select Letters as the type of document and then click on the Next, Starting document. Then You have options to use the current document you have open, to select a template, or to browse to an existing document not open. It will open the “Select Template dialog box shown. Select the Letters tab and choose your letter and Click on OK. Select Use an existing list and click on the Browse link.Then it opens the dialog box in which you select the table containing the mail merge recipients info you want to pull into the merge fields in your document. Don't forgot to check the box indicating that the First row of data contains column headers.Then it opens the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box shown below you can select which recipients to include or deselect by unchecking the check box by the name. Then you have buttons on both the Preview Results group on the Mailings ribbon as well as the task pane to look at different recipient info.
