How do you use Mail Merge with Word and Excel?

You would type your initial document in Word and set up your data in a structured manner in Excel. Typically you will have headings at the top of each column of data with the data below. During the merging process you will be given an option of where to choose the source data. It is at this point that you would select your Excel file and the data within it that you need. Word will establish a connection to the Excel file. From the insert field options during the merging process you will then be able to choose from the fields as set up in the Excel file, by picking the heading that you set for a field and inserting it into the Word document at the place you want it.
