The purpose of mail merging is to make your life easier without having to change the address and other
contents of a ‘master’ letter which is to be sent to many destinations.
The data source may be in many forms such as a table in a Word document or a database.
Click ‘Table’ on the toolbar then ‘Insert Table’ from the drop down menu.
Choose 4 columns and 5 rows (as below) and enter the information as detailed
(Tab to next column).
Notice the titles on the first row of the Table (when creating a Table remember to allow for this row
when stating the number of rows required).
Click ‘Tools’ and then ‘Mail Merge’ from the drop down menu.
Click ‘Create’ then ‘Form Letters’ from the drop down menu.
Click ‘Active Window’ (the document you are wishing to place the data in).
Now you are going to state which document is to be referred to for the data.
Click ‘Get Data’ then ‘Open data source’ from the drop down menu.
Double click on the NAMEDATA File you created as the data source.
Click ‘Edit Main Document’.
Click where you wish the data to appear within the letter.
Click ‘Insert Merge Field’ on the Mail Merge Toolbar and select the field that you wish to
appear. Repeat this until you are happy that all relevant data is merged to the letter.
To ensure that what you have done is correct click the ‘View Merged Data’ icon adjacent to
‘Insert Word Field’ and the data will appear within the letter as per the table . Click through the
records via the next and previous record icons.
It is also possible to convert text which is broken by commas ( i.e john, james, michelle, paige ) into a
Table to act as a data source.
Select all the text that is to appear within the table, titles included.
