It’s time to create a single, consolidated mailing list, or data list, to save time in the long run. If your data consists of handwritten names and addresses, not to mention scribbled scraps of paper and torn-off return address labels, then you’ve come to the right place.
For example, mail merge can take multiple columns of mailing information in a spreadsheet and organize it to appear as an address with the correct spacing and punctuation. The mail merge function imports information from a data source, which is almost always a spreadsheet, and automatically organizes the data into a specific layout. The two basic components of a mail merge are the document you will be merging data into and the data source that you will be importing the data from.
Essentially, mail merge takes care of the work of copying and pasting your data for you.
