Mail merge outlook cc
A classic combination!
To perform a mail merge in Outlook using a Contact Card (CC), you can follow these steps:
Prerequisites:
- You have a list of contacts in your Outlook contacts folder.
- You have a Word document or a template that you want to merge with the contact information.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Open your Word document or template.
- Go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
- Click on "Select Recipients" and then "Use an Existing List" or "Use Outlook Contacts".
- Choose the contact list you want to use for the mail merge.
- Click "OK" to select the contacts.
- In the "Mailings" tab, click on "Write & Insert Fields" to insert the contact fields into your document.
- Select the contact field you want to insert (e.g., "First Name", "Last Name", "Email Address", etc.).
- Click "Insert" to insert the field into your document.
- Repeat step 7 and 8 for each contact field you want to include in your mail merge.
- Once you've inserted all the fields, you can format the document as needed.
- To perform the mail merge, go to the "Mailings" tab and click on "Finish & Merge".
- Choose the output option: "Print" or "Email" (or "Save as PDF" if you prefer).
- If you choose "Email", Outlook will create a new email message for each contact, using the contact information from your list.
Tips and Variations:
- You can also use the "Contact Card" feature in Outlook to create a mail merge template. To do this, go to the "Contact" tab in the ribbon, click on "Contact Card", and then "Create a Contact Card Template".
- If you have a large number of contacts, you may want to consider using a third-party add-in, such as Mail Merge Toolkit, to simplify the process.
- You can also use other fields, such as company information or custom fields, to personalize your mail merge.
