teachers/LAC which containing some text and other
information.
Creating each letter individually would take hours. That's where
mail merge comes in. Using mail merge, all you have to do is
create one document that contains the information that is the
same in each copy, and add some placeholders for the
information that is unique to each copy. Word takes care of the
rest.
