Create a Data Source File



Before you create the main document, determine what type of correspondence you will be creating and the
type of information you will need to insert in it.



Word provides predetermined field names in a data source for this purpose. Use these field names if they
represent the data you are creating.



Variable information in a data source file is saved as a record.



A record is a series of fields and each record contains all of the information for one unit (for example, a
person, family, customer, client, or business).



A data source file is a series of records.

Merge Directories



When merging letters, envelopes, or mailing labels, a new form is created for each record.



For example, if the data source file merged with a letter contains eight records, eight letters are created.



If the data source file merged with a mailing label contains 20 records, 20 labels are created.



In some situations, you may want merged information to remain on the same page.
