Mail Merge

To actually use the mail merge you would open the document with the letter written and go to Mailing tab. After clicking that click on start mail merge and select normal word document then selecting step by step mail merge wizard. Then a tab would appear and you first select on letter then next, select use current document then next and select on use existing list. Then you you would browse for the excel document who has the lest of people and the information for them. Select the first sheet #1 and make sure the check box is checked and then more items and select the name and action and then preview letter. Mail merge makes it easier for you when you want to write a letter to more then one person. Or if you were to send an invitation to someone with the same information all you would have to do is use the mail merge and it would for it for you.
Yes I would use the mail merge in the future for a thank you note or invitation telling multiple people the same thing. It is much quicker and easier to do and doesn't take much time to do so, it really isn't hard to do. Mail merge is helpful and you just have to have it organized and make it ready so you can just apply the mail merge to it. Mail merge in my opinion is very much helpful.
