Mail Merge allows you to produce multiple documents like letters and labels using information from a list or spreadsheet. To perform a mail merge, you need a Word document and a recipient list typically stored in an Excel file. The mail merge wizard guides you through the process, having you choose the document type, select the recipient list, insert merge fields from the list, preview the results, and finish merging the data.
