1 Word Level 2 Mail Merge Class Project Practice Activity Ms. Dawn Bieser, M.Ed

2 Introduction to Mail Merge Mail Merge is used to combine a standardized document with a set of data. It can be used to create personalized form letters, mailing labels, envelopes, and more. The merged document can be previewed, printed, or saved for later. Mail Merge saves time by applying personalized data to a master document. The Mailings tab on the Ribbon provides guidance and tools for conducting a Mail Merge.

3 Components of Mail Merge There are three components of a Mail Merge: The main document controls the merge. It contains the fixed information that will be in every letter and the merged codes where the variable text will be The data source is a document or database that contains the information that will be different for each letter. It can be a table in Word, an Excel Spreadsheet or a table in Access The merged document is the result of a merge. These are the individual letters that result from the merge. The merge fields are replaced with the actual data from the Data Source file.

4 Components of a Mail Merge The Main Document The Data Source The Merged Documents

5 The Main Document Any document may be used as a main document if merge fields are added. Merge fields will be filled in by the data source when the merge is performed. Insert merge fields by using the Write & Insert Fields group on the Mailings tab.

6 The Data Source Data sources contain names, addresses, telephone numbers, or other information. Data is collected in fields, such as name or city More fields provide more flexibility. For example, a full name field will not allow you to use just the first or last name in a merged document. Instead, use a first name, last name, and salutation field for more flexibility. The New Address List dialog box contains common fields for addresses. It s a good way to create an effective address list for your Mail Merge. Fields in a Data Source

7 The Merged Documents Merging combines a main document with a data source to produce a merged document. The Review Results group on the Mailings tab allows you to preview letters before performing the merge. Use the Finish Merge command when you are confident that your main document and data source are accurate. If the original main document and data source are saved, you don t need to keep the merged documents after printing. It s possible to edit individual merged documents before printing or saving.

8 Benefits of using Mail Merge Basically, Mail Merge is a huge time saver. If you need to do a large mailing with hundreds or even thousands of customers or clients, without Mail Merge, you would have to type the same text in hundreds of documents. Mail Merge allows you to create just one main document and use one data source that contains all your clients names and addresses. Microsoft Word makes Mail Merge easy with the Mailings Tab on the Ribbon

9 The Mailings Tab The Mailings Tab The Mailings Tab Select the type of main document via Start Mail Merge (Letters, envelopes or labels) Select Recipients is where you create a New Address List or use an existing one.

10 Class Project Seaside Realty Mail Merge Problem Defined Result Our class project is to create a Mail Merge for Seaside Realty, a fictitious Real Estate company located in San Francisco, California. Seaside Realty needs to send out a large mailing each month to clients that their Realtors have contacted regarding selling their homes. The variable information will be the clients name and addresses, the Realtor s Name and the geographical area that they work in. This information will be stored in a Data Source Address List that we will create from scratch. We also need to create a form letter that will contain the variable information that will be propagated with the information

11 Create your Main Document & Data Source The first step in setting up a Mail Merge is to Create your Main Document and specify a Data Source to use that you will link to your main document. Remember that the Data Source is where you will store the customer names, addresses, telephone numbers, numbers, etc. For this project, you will open up an existing form letter for Seaside Realty and then you will create a data source from scratch using Mail Merge s Address List feature. The Address List stores the data in an Access Database table. Let s first take a detailed look at the Main Document and Data Source we will be creating for this project.

12 The Main Document This is the main document we will be creating that contains the standard text and merge codes that have been inserted where the variable text will be. The Merged code fields are highlighted in bold and include the Address Block Greeting Line Realtor Name Area

13 The Data Source (Cont d) This is the Data Source. To keep our project manageable, we will start out entering just six clients. Keep in mind that you may have hundreds of clients in a real life project. The address list comes with default fields but you can customize it to contain just the information you need for your merge.
