Mailings

Mail merge is the process of creating custom documents that combine unique information with standard text.
This allows you to customise your documents individually.
To perform a successful mail merge you need to have two things:
Main Document - This contains the text that you want to remain constant. This document also contains instructions about which parts of text to change, these are called merge fields.
Data Source - This contains the text that changes from one document to the next. You data source can be a variety of different things including: a table in a Word document, Outlook address book, Access database, CSV file.
