Word - Mail Merge - Tutorial

Part 6 - Insert Merge Fields to your Document

Word will then take you to your document to Insert your Fields.

If it does not just Click on the Mail Merge Helper and choose Edit your main document. With your main document open, we can now add the fields to your document.

Click on Insert Merge Field Tab on the Merge Toolbar

Word then gives us options of what field to Insert as we want the title at the top of our letter. Click on Title. Word then inserts:

MERGEFIELD Title «Title»

This is meant to happen even though it does look odd.

Insert your fields as follows. Note after Title you must click on your spacebar to insert a space. After the First Name field insert a space. After the Last Name Field insert a return. Keep working in this way until you have added in all your fields. Do not forget the Salutation name.

MERGEFIELD Title «Title»  MERGEFIELD FirstName «FirstName»  MERGEFIELD LastName «LastName» MERGEFIELD Company «Company»
MERGEFIELD Address1 «Address1»
 MERGEFIELD Address2 «Address2»
MERGEFIELD City «City»
MERGEFIELD PostalCode «PostalCode»

Dear  MERGEFIELD FirstName «FirstName»  MERGEFIELD LastName «LastName»
