Mail merge cc
A mail merge with a twist!
A mail merge with CC (carbon copy) is a technique used in mail merge operations to send a single document to multiple recipients, with each recipient's name and address inserted into the document. The CC feature allows you to send a copy of the document to additional recipients, in addition to the primary recipient.
Here's how it works:
- Set up your mail merge document: Create a document with placeholders for the recipient's name and address. You can use a word processor or a mail merge software to create the document.
- Identify your recipients: Create a list of recipients, including their names and addresses. You can use a spreadsheet or a database to store the recipient information.
- Set up the mail merge: Use your mail merge software to connect the document to the recipient list. The software will automatically insert the recipient's name and address into the document.
- Add CC recipients: Identify the additional recipients who should receive a copy of the document. You can add their names and addresses to the recipient list.
- Run the mail merge: Use the mail merge software to generate the documents for each recipient. The software will insert the recipient's name and address into the document, and also send a copy to the CC recipients.
Benefits of using mail merge with CC:
- Saves time: You can send a single document to multiple recipients, without having to create separate documents for each recipient.
- Increases efficiency: The mail merge software automates the process of inserting recipient information into the document, saving you time and effort.
- Improves accuracy: The mail merge software reduces the risk of errors, as it ensures that the recipient's information is accurately inserted into the document.
