Objectifs :
This document aims to provide a comprehensive guide on using the mail merge feature in Microsoft Word, focusing on converting email messages to letters, managing recipient lists, and formatting address blocks effectively.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Mail Merge
Mail merge is a powerful tool in Microsoft Word that allows users to create personalized documents for multiple recipients. This guide will explore various options available in the mail merge process, emphasizing the flexibility of using the Mailings tab without relying on the wizard. -
Starting the Mail Merge
To begin the mail merge process, navigate to the Mailings tab and click on 'Start Mail Merge.' Here, we will convert email messages into letters. It is important to remove any hyperlinks from the document body to ensure a clean format. -
Creating a Recipient List
1. Click on 'Select Recipients' to create a new recipient list with mailing addresses. 2. Begin typing in any field and use the Tab key to move to the next column or Shift + Tab to move back. 3. After entering information for one recipient, click 'New Entry' to add another. While typing a list can be labor-intensive, remember that you are building a database that can be reused in future documents and programs, such as Microsoft Excel. -
Saving and Editing the Recipient List
Once all recipients are added, click 'OK' and choose a location to save the list file. Type a name for the file and click 'Save.' You can edit the recipient list at any time by clicking 'Edit Recipient List.' To modify entries, click the file name in 'Data Source' and select 'Edit.' You can add, delete, or edit data by clicking on the respective fields. To delete a recipient, click the column to the left of the entry and press 'Delete,' then confirm with 'Yes.' Finally, click 'OK' to save your changes. -
Adding an Address Block
To insert an address block at the top of the letter: 1. Click before the greeting line and press Enter a couple of times. 2. Click on 'Address Block.' 3. On the left side, choose what to include in the address block and preview the addresses on the right. You can select a less formal name format and decide whether to include the company name. For local customers, you may opt not to show the country or region. After configuring the address block, click 'OK' to add it to the letter. -
Previewing and Formatting the Letter
To see how the actual letters will look, click 'Preview Results.' If the text appears with extra spacing between lines, select the address block and navigate to the Layout tab. Adjust the paragraph spacing to zero to improve the appearance. This formatting can be applied to any mail merge field just like regular text. -
Finishing the Mail Merge
Return to the Mailings tab and click 'Finish and Merge.' Although we are creating letters, Word provides options to send them as emails or create individual document files for each recipient. For this instance, we will proceed directly to printing the letters. Click 'OK' to print all letters. -
Next Steps
In the upcoming section, we will explore how to use mail merge to print envelopes for the letters, further enhancing the personalization and professionalism of our correspondence.
FAQ :
What is mail merge and how does it work?
Mail merge is a process that allows you to create personalized documents by combining a template with a data source. You can input recipient information, such as names and addresses, and generate multiple documents tailored to each recipient.
Do I have to use the mail merge wizard?
No, you do not have to use the wizard. All the necessary options for mail merge are available on the Mailings tab in your document software.
How can I edit my recipient list?
You can edit your recipient list by clicking on 'Edit Recipient List' in the Mailings tab. This allows you to view, sort, add, or delete entries as needed.
What is an address block in mail merge?
An address block is a formatted section that contains the recipient's address. It can be customized to include or exclude certain elements, such as the company name or country.
How can I preview the results of my mail merge?
You can preview the results by clicking on 'Preview Results' in the Mailings tab. This will show you how the merged documents will look with the actual recipient data.
Can I print the letters directly from mail merge?
Yes, after completing the mail merge, you can print the letters directly by selecting 'Finish and Merge' and then choosing the print option.

Creating Address Labels for Mailings
