Lesson 3 Reflection

Mail Merge is a tool that is provided by Microsoft. This tool is used to mass produce different letters and other documents all at one time. I learned that you can make a specific amount of letters and documents by just using 5 easy quick steps. you first have to set up the main document. then you connect the document to a data source. You type what you have to for example, the companies name, name of the person and so on and so forth. Then process the list of recipients or items. You then add the placeholders in the document in the designated places that you would like them to be. Then you finally preview and complete the merge. You just finished creating multiple letters in a small amount of time. Its as simple as that. 

Mail Merge

Mail merge is a tool used in microsft word that allows you to make letters, envelopes mailing labels and other documents so that they appear to be personalized. The purpose of mail merge is to make life more easier by making more than one document at a faster pace. Many companies and individuals use mail merge to help them get their messages and letters done more quicker. It is also a good use when someone has an important task to mae that has a deadline and then that person realizes that they are behind their work. that individual has 10 letters to send out in a given time. So the person would use this because it would cut the time in half that it would normaly take to do so. If we didn't have mail merge, making documents will take longer.
