What does mail merge mean?

Answer 1

This helps to create personalized letters and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass mailings from a word processing document which contains fixed text, which will be the same in each output document, and variables, which act as placeholders that are replaced by text from the data source. The data source is typically a spreadsheet or a database which has a field or column matching each variable in the template. When the mail merge is run, the word processing system creates an output document for each row in the database, using the fixed text exactly as it appears in the template, but substituting the data variables in the template with the values from the matching columns.

Answer 2

mail merge is a function in the MS computer program Word. It basically allows you to get a list of names, and a template of a letter and create customised letters to a database by merging the files. You can also create envelopes, stickers, etc.

Answer 3

The general term is a mail merge. The main document is merged with names and addresses saved in a database. The main document will become more personal by showing individual names (Dear Mr Jones, instead of Dear Sir) and individual addresses.
