Best Answer

To write a document (a letter, for example), insert generic fields (name and address) and then 'merge' that with a data file (of recipients in this instance) to create one 'customized' copy for each data record (recipient).

You can use the mail merge feature to craft a letter, and automatically personalize it and address it to some number of individual recipients.

The basic text of the letter is the same for all recipients, however, the address and coded references within the text can be personalized for each reader.

The mail merge feature works with an existing list (data file), or contacts from your Microsoft Word Outlook program, or you can create a new list. The lists contain the mailing addresses of the recipients you want to receive your letter.
