Merging Information from Other Programs
When you print a Word Processing document, you can merge (combine)
information from other programs. Merging allows you to print form letters,
envelopes, mailing labels, reports, and other types of documents using
information you have already entered instead of typing it again in Word
Processing.
For example, you can send the same document to different people by
merging the different names and addresses into Word Processing.
Merging involves two documents: the data document and the merge
document. The data document is an Addressbook or Spreadsheet document
that contains data (names and addresses) stored in a consistent format. For
example, an Addressbook document might contain the names and addresses
of your friends. The information in the data document gets inserted into
various places (merge fields) in the merge document.
A merge document is a Word Processing document that contains text,
grap_,layouL a_.nd-.fo,z.'2m_atting. It also contains mergefie/ds that m._rk
where Word Processing places the information from the data document.
The easiest way to use the merge feature is to follow this general sequence of
tasks:
• To get ready for merging:
1. Create the data document (with names, addresses, etc.) in Addressbook or
Spreadsheet.
2. Create the Word Processing merge document with merge fields for names,
addresses, etc. (See page 54).
3. Copy the information you want to merge from the Addressbook or
Spreadsheet data document to the clipboard. (See pages 55 and 56).
After following the above steps, you are ready to print the merge document.
