Cc in mail merge word

In Microsoft Word, a mail merge is a feature that allows you to combine a document with a data source, such as an Excel spreadsheet or a database, to create multiple copies of the document with different information. The "cc" field is a special field that allows you to include a carbon copy (or blind carbon copy) of the document in the mail merge process.

Here's how to use the "cc" field in a mail merge in Word:

  1. Open your Word document and go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on the "Select Recipients" button and choose the data source you want to use for your mail merge.
  3. Click on the "Insert Merge Field" button and select the "cc" field from the list of available fields.
  4. The "cc" field will be inserted into your document, and you can format it as needed.
  5. To include a carbon copy of the document in the mail merge process, go to the "Mailings" tab and click on the "Options" button.
  6. In the "Options" dialog box, select the "Include carbon copy" checkbox.
  7. Click "OK" to close the dialog box and start the mail merge process.

When you run the mail merge, Word will create a separate document for each recipient in your data source, and will include a carbon copy of the document in each one. The carbon copy will be labeled as "cc" and will contain the same information as the original document.

Here's an example of what the "cc" field might look like in a mail merge document:

Dear [Recipient],

This is a test letter.

cc: [Carbon Copy]

Sincerely, [Your Name]

In this example, the "cc" field is used to include a carbon copy of the letter in the mail merge document. The carbon copy will contain the same information as the original letter, but will be labeled as "cc" and will be included in the document as a separate page.
