Objectifs :
This course aims to teach participants how to effectively use mail merge in Microsoft Word for personalized mass mailing, including emails, letters, and envelopes. Participants will learn to create individualized documents by integrating recipient-specific information seamlessly.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Mail Merge
Mail merge is a powerful tool for mass mailing that allows you to personalize each document for individual recipients. This process can be applied to various formats, including labels, letters, envelopes, and emails. By starting with a main document and attaching a list of recipient information, you can add specific elements to any part of the document, from greetings to images. -
Getting Started with Mail Merge
To initiate the mail merge process, navigate to the Mailings tab in Microsoft Word and select 'Start Mail Merge' followed by 'Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.' Choose the type of document you wish to create and click 'Next.' You can either start a new document from a template or use an existing document. For this course, we will select 'Use the Current Document' since our document is already open. -
Selecting a Recipient List
A recipient list can be sourced from three locations: an existing list (like one created in Microsoft Excel), Microsoft Outlook contacts, or a new list that you type manually. For example, if you want to send an email to customers in your Outlook contacts, select the appropriate contacts folder. Word will then add these contacts to your recipient list. -
Editing the Recipient List
Before executing the mail merge, you have the option to review and edit the recipient list. If your list is extensive, you may want to send emails in smaller batches. You can sort the list by last names and uncheck the box at the top to deselect all contacts, allowing you to select only those with last names starting with specific letters, such as B, C, and D. -
Adding Mail Merge Fields
Next, you will add mail merge fields to your email message. For simplicity, we will insert a greeting line field. First, delete the existing greeting and select 'Greeting Line.' Choose a format, keeping 'Dear' but opting for a less formal name format. If there is an issue with the recipient's name, Word will insert a generic greeting. We will change this to 'Dear Customer' followed by a comma. -
Previewing the Emails
After inserting the merge field, click 'Next' to preview how each email will appear. Word temporarily replaces the merge fields with actual entries from the recipient list, allowing you to check the formatting and content before sending. This step is particularly useful if your email contains multiple merge fields. -
Completing the Mail Merge
If everything looks satisfactory, click 'Next' to finalize the merge. Select 'Electronic Mail,' add a subject line for the emails, and click 'OK' when you are ready to send them. While the wizard provides a helpful guide for beginners, experienced users can often expedite the process by entering options directly.

What should I do if I want to send emails in chunks?
If you want to send emails in chunks, you can sort your recipient list and uncheck the box at the top to deselect all contacts, then select specific contacts based on criteria such as last names.
