A mail merged procedure combines

A mail merge procedure combines:

1. Data: A database or spreadsheet containing the information you want to use in your document, such as names, addresses, and other details.
2. Template: A document or layout that serves as the foundation for your merged document, which includes placeholders for the data.
3. Software: Specialized software, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat, that allows you to merge the data with the template.

The mail merge process typically involves the following steps:

1. Create a data source: Prepare your data in a spreadsheet or database.
2. Create a template: Design a document or layout that includes placeholders for the data.
3. Set up the mail merge: Use the software to connect the data source to the template.
4. Merge the data: The software replaces the placeholders in the template with the actual data from the data source.
5. Output the merged document: The software generates a new document that combines the template with the data, creating a unique document for each record in the data source.

Mail merge is commonly used for tasks such as:

• Creating personalized letters or emails
• Generating reports with customized data
• Creating labels or envelopes with specific information
• Creating brochures or flyers with variable content

By combining data with a template, mail merge allows you to efficiently produce large quantities of customized documents with minimal effort.
