| Create a form letter for a mailing Whether you marketing an appeal letter, soliciting donations, or creating your Organisations/Groups Newsletter, the ability to create a form letter in Microsoft Word for Mac really pays off. The Data Merge Manager makes it easy to combine data from the Office Address Book with your letter to create a customised mailing for each contact that you choose. This article will help you: Prepare the main document for your letter Select the data source Select the records you want to merge Preview and merge dataPrepare the main document for your letter ![]() As with any data merge operation, the first step in creating a form letter is to create a main document. The main document contains the text that you want to include in your letter as well as the instructions for your data merge. These instructions tell Word what information to include from the Office Address Book. When you print or send your letter, Word combines the instructions from the main document with the information from the Office Address Book in a new document.1. Click New Blank Document . 2. On the Tools menu, click Data Merge Manager. 3. Under Main Document, click Create, and then click Form Letters. ![]() Select the data source ![]() In the example in this procedure, you will use contact information from your Office Address Book as the data source for your letter. 1.

In the Data Merge Manager, under Merge, click Query Options. 2. On the List mail merge recipients by pop-up menu, do one of the following: To select contacts based on Category, click Categories and select the check box next to each category that you want to include. To select individual contacts, click Complete record and select the check box next to the contacts that you want to include.Preview and merge data ![]() Before you print your letters, you can preview them to make sure that they appear the way you want them to. 1. In the Data Merge Manager, under Preview, click View Merged Data. 2. Word displays the letter as well as the data from the Office Address Book in place of the merge fields. Tip To preview the label for a particular contact, click the arrow buttons, or type a record number in the Go to Record box. ![]() 3. When you are satisfied with the layout of your letter, you have several options for merging the data: To send merged information directly to a printer, click Merge to Printer under Merge.

A new document is created with a letter for each contact separated by a page break. You can save this document for printing later.Tip: If you are using Microsoft Entourage Help. |
