What is a mail merge?

[pikachick]

I am trying to teach myself the more advanced aspects of excel and have been
unable to do two things:

-What is a mail merge and what is it used for?

-I can't seem to copy a formula and paste it in another cell. It keeps
trying to add the cell I click on the the formula. so....How do I copy a
formula

See the article "How to create a Mail Merge" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/CreateAMailMerge.htm

Select the cell containing the formula then press Ctrl+c then move to the
cell where you want the formula and press Ctrl+v

That's one way. For questions on Excel however, you should post to an Excel
newsgroup.
