Part 11. Performing Mass Mailings

Word's mail-merge feature automates the process of inserting personal information, such as names and addresses, into a document that you want to use in a mass mailing. You can use it to create such documents as personalized form letters for a fundraising campaign, cover letters for a batch of resumes, or marketing letters for publicity packages. Not only that, you can also use mail merge to print envelopes or labels to go with your letters . You should follow the steps in the first seven tasks in this part (from "Starting the Main Document" to "Merging the Documents") in sequence. Each task picks up where the previous one left off. Once you've run through these seven tasks a time or two, you'll have no problem following the instructions in the last four tasks to merge your envelopes or labels.
