Mail Merge

-



Mail merge consists in combining mail and letters and pre-addressed envelops or mailing labels for mass mailings from a form letter.

Mail merge is a feature within most data processing applications that enables users to send a similar letter or document to multiple recipients. It enables connecting a single form template with a data source that contains information about the recipient’s name, address and other predefined and supported data.
Microsoft Word can insert content from a database, spreadsheet, or table into Word documents.

Mail Merge is a powerful tool for writing a personalized letter or E-mail to many people at the same time. It imports data from another source such as Excel and then uses that to replace placeholders throughout our message with the relevant information for each individual we are messaging.


HISTORY
Mail merge dates back to early word processors on personal computers, circa 1980. WordStarz was perhaps the earliest to provide this, originally via an ancillary program called Mail merge. WordPerfect also offered this capacity for CP/M and MS-DOS systems; Microsoft Word added it later on, as did Multimate.
