Word mail merge 2007 excel

A blast from the past!

In Microsoft Excel 2007, you can perform a mail merge using the "Mail Merge" feature, which is part of the "Tools" menu. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

1. You need to have a Microsoft Word document (.docx) that you want to merge with your Excel data.
2. Your Excel data should be in a table format, with each row representing a single record and each column representing a field (e.g., name, address, phone number, etc.).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open your Excel file and select the range of cells that contains your data.
2. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Mail Merge" (or press Alt + F8).
3. In the "Mail Merge" dialog box, select "Word" as the "Merge to" option.
4. Click "Browse" to select the Word document you want to merge with your Excel data.
5. In the "Merge" dialog box, select the Excel range you selected in step 1.
6. Choose the fields you want to merge from the Excel data into the Word document. You can select multiple fields by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on each field.
7. Click "OK" to start the mail merge process.
8. Word will open with the merged document. You can review the merged document and make any necessary changes.
