  mail mergeMail Merge is a feature used in Microsoft Word that allows you to create many personalized documents (letters, emails, labels, etc.) from one template. 📄

Simple Definition

Mail Merge = combining a main document with a list of data to create multiple personalized documents automatically.

Example

Suppose you want to send the same letter to 100 people.

  • Mail Merge automatically creates 100 personalized letters.

Example result:

Name	Letter Output
Rahul	Dear Rahul
Priya	Dear Priya
Aman	Dear Aman
