mail merge

[Jackie Thomas]

I'm a new user at mail merging. However, I have a project
at school that deals with using Access and Word. I have
some data in Access and I want to write a letter using the
information in Access. How can I merge the data in Access
to Word ?

Hey Jackie,

You can do this by going into word and inserting the Mail
Merge toolbar. To do this, go to View > Toolbars > Mail
Merge. Another way to do this is to have a taskpane to the
right hand side. You can do this by going to View >
Taskpane. A taskpane will show on the right hand side.
There is a down arrow... Click on that and select merge
for step by step process of creating your document.

There will be a Mail Merge toolbar. On the first icon,
when you click that, you will select your document you are
working on. Select your type of document whether it is
Letter, Enveloopes, Labels, etc.

Then you need to obtain your data source from Access that
you are using.

Once you have done that, you are ready to begin write your
letter. Insert the Address by using the Address block and
the Greeting by using the Greeting line. Just make sure
you match these fields according to the data so that every
letter you write out will make the data.

To do this, when you click on Address block, there should
be a dialog box...to the left hand corner is a match
field. You should match the field accordly to what you
prefer. This makes all the letter match the person of whow
you want to write to.

This should help you with what you want. Please let me
know and get back to me to let me know that this is what
you want.

Thanks,

Teem

Jackie,

Big question. Sort of like how do you fly an airplane? You get in the
cockpit and manipulate the controls

You might find the following helpful for a start:
