Method 3: Using VBA macros

1. Open your Excel file and select the mailing list range.

2. Press "Alt + F11" to open the Visual Basic Editor.

3. In the Editor, insert a new module by clicking "Insert" > "Module".

4. Paste the following code:

   Sub MergeMailingList()
    Dim wdApp As Object
    Dim wdDoc As Object
    Dim xlApp As Object
    Dim xlSheet As Object
   
    Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Add
    Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    Set xlSheet = xlApp.Worksheets("YourSheetName")
   
    wdDoc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource "Excel 12.0 Xml;Database=" & xlSheet.Name
    wdDoc.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
    wdDoc.MailMerge.Execute
   
    wdApp.Quit
    Set wdApp = Nothing
    Set wdDoc = Nothing
    Set xlApp = Nothing
    Set xlSheet = Nothing
   End Sub

5. Replace "YourSheetName" with the name of your Excel worksheet.

6. Save the module and close the Editor.

7. Go back to your Excel file and run the macro by clicking "Developer" > "Macros" > "Run".

8. The macro will create a new Word document with the merged data.

Note: These methods assume that you have Excel 2010 or later and Word 2010 or later. If you're using earlier versions, the steps may be slightly different.
