Day 28: Mail Merge – Introduction

 

Introduction

Kabhi-kabhi hume ek hi type ka letter bahut saare logon ko bhejna hota hai, lekin har letter me naam, address ya details different hoti hain. Aise situation me har letter ko alag-alag type karna time-consuming hota hai.

Is problem ko solve karne ke liye Mail Merge feature use kiya jata hai. Mail Merge ki madad se ek hi document ko multiple recipients ke liye automatically personalize kiya ja sakta hai.

Ye feature Microsoft Word me office work, invitations aur announcements ke liye bahut useful hai.

Example:

Agar school ko 100 students ko same notice bhejna ho, to Mail Merge automatically har student ke naam aur address ke saath letter create kar sakta hai.
