Summary

In this chapter, you’ve learned how to use each of the mail merge tools in the Mailings tab of the Ribbon to begin a mail merge, attach a database to a data document, insert merge fields, and complete a data merge. You’ve also seen that this feature isn’t just for mail merge, but has many other uses as well. You should now be able to do the following:

• Attach a data source to a Word document and select just the records you want

• Within limits, use Word tools to discover duplicate data records

• Insert composite merge fields, such as the Address Block and Greeting Line, as well as control how those fields are constituted

• Use the Mail Merge Wizard
