How to Use Mail Merge in Microsoft Word



Use mail merge to create and print too many letters and other documents to different persons.
Mail merge is used to create a set of documents, such as a form letter(interview call/offer letters) that is sent to many candidates. 
Each letter has unique information. 
For example, in letters to candidates, each letter can be personalized to address each candidate by name. 
The mail merge process requires the following steps:

The main document contains contents which will be used in each document.
Connect the document to a data source. 
A data source is a file that contains the information to be merged into a document. Normally we can use excel file contains the names and addresses of the recipients of a letter. 
Microsoft Office Word generates a copy of the main document for each item, or record, in your data file. 
If your data file is a mailing list, these items are probably recipients of your mailing. 
If you want to generate copies for only certain items in your data file, you can choose which items (records) to include. 
Input mail merge fields, to the document. 
Then do the mail merge, the mail merge fields will be filled with information from your data file.
