   Introducing Mail Merge

MS Word enables mail merge feature that helps you to create personalized letters and other documents by combining data into two different files. These two files are data source file, which stores the variable data to be added and a main document file, which contains the same information for all the documents. Combining the contents of a data source with a main document is known as merging. The main document contains the similar text, punctuation and graphics. You can insert merge field code in the main document, where you need data from the data source that appears in the merged documents. To perform a mail merge, you can specify the file that is the main document or data source. The Mail merge also allows you to merge the main document with the data source and print the mailing labels or envelopes.
