By the end of this lesson, you'll solve:
"Your school needs to send the same letter to 200 parents, each with a different name and address. Type 200 letters? No way!"
What is Mail Merge?
Imagine writing one letter template and automatically filling in each student's name, roll number, and marks. That is mail merge — one document + a list of data = hundreds of personalised letters!
Mail Merge automates sending the same letter to many people with personalised details.
Key Points
- 1Combines a template (main document) with a data source (names, addresses)
- 2Creates personalised copies for each record in the data
- 3Used for: letters, certificates, ID cards, envelopes, labels
- 4Saves hours compared to typing each letter individually
Pro Tip
Think of it like a "fill in the blanks" exercise — the blanks get filled from a spreadsheet!
