3.01 Understand business documents.3 Mail Merge Description Mail Merge is the process of mass-producing letters, envelopes, mailing labels, and other documents so that the new documents appear personalized. A Mail Merge is actually an integration of Word Processing and Database applications. The document is created using word processing while a database stores the contact information. This information is later inserted into, or merged with, the document to mass-produce personalized documents.

3.01 Understand business documents.4 Mail Merge Components Main Document The main document can be any kind of Word Processing Document but is most often some kind of letter. Thus, this is generically referred to as a Form Letter. The Form Letter contains two types of information: −Information that will NOT change: The main body of the document. −Information that WILL change: The Recipient’s Address and Greeting Line. (variable information)

Information can be stored in many file types: −Database −Spreadsheet −Table in a Word Processing Document −Text-Delimited file like Comma Separated Values (*.CSV) Merge Fields used in the document are automatically generated from the information stored in the data source.

Business Letters and Personal Business Letters are probably the most common. The Main Document is sometimes referred to as the primary part and the Data Source as the secondary.
