Mail Merge
 

 

 


Prior to using mail merge, you will want to create an excel spreadsheet with your students first and last names (and/or whatever other information you wish to merge into your document). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


First type the correspondence that you wish to personalize through mail merge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


On the toolbar, click “tools.” 

From that pop down menu choose “Mail Merge”

The following menu will appear.  Choose “Create” and then click on “Form Letter”
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


You will get a menu that looks like this . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 


Choose “Active Window”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Folded Corner: This is when the magic happens. Click “Merge.” Your document will now multiply into as many letters as you had entries in your data source each with your students’ names and personal information! \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


This is not the only way to complete a mail merge.  There are other ways and other choices you can make along the way.  It may seem overwhelming, but in the long run, it is worth it!
