WHY MAIL MERGE?
Labels: Mail merge in Office lets you convert your contact list
data into a sheet of mailing labels, with complete control over
the results.
Email: You can also personalize your newsletters or flyers, and
email them out automatically to a customized contact list.
This guide walks through both situations, with instructions for
the programs you want to use.
(Note that the instructions and images are from Office 2010, but it’s not much
different in Office 2007, so you can use the same instructions.)
