Word - Mail Merge - Tutorial

Part 5

If you remove a Field by mistake Click on Add Field Name double clicking on the name you want to add back works as well. Once you have chosen the fields you want to use Click on Ok

Word will then prompt you to save the Data Source. You are saving the Data Source, and not your letter. That is important to realise. Save your Data Source with a name you will remember like Data Source for Merges or something else.

Edit Data Source

Word  prompts you to edit your Data Source, as we have not entered any names and addresses into the Data Source yet. At any time you can just click onto the Mail Merge Helper if Word does not prompt you on to the next stage.

Edit Data Source button.

Enter your names and addresses onto the form that Word provides.

On this form you type in the names and addresses that you want to use for your Merge.

For this exercise, type in just two names and addresses. Click on Add New once you have completed your first record. (Record being the name and address). If you make a mistake you can click on Delete.

Click OK when you have finished.
