To complete the Main Document, type your letter as you normally would. For each variable in the main document, click the Insert Merge Field button on the Merge toolbar and select a merge field name that is appropriate. A merge field name code will appear with brackets before and after the code name. As you enter each merge field code into your main document, space between each merge field as you would want the spacing to appear when text is substituted for the merge field code. Punctuation must also be added before or after merge field codes where appropriate. After completing the letter, save it. You are now ready to complete the data source document. Click the Mail Merge Helper button on the Merge toolbar. Under 2, Data Source, click the Edit button, then click Data. |
