Insert Merge Fields into the Form Letter

Now that you’ve created the generic form letter and specified a mailing list, you need to insert merge fields, or placeholders, that tell Word where to put the names, addresses, and other personalized information.

Want to emphasize the personalized information?   Select a merge field and apply bold, italic, or any other formatting. Save the form letter for future use   When you’ve inserted all the merge fields—and added any text and graphics you want to include in each letter—save the form letter.
