Using Mail Merge

You can use the Mail Merge feature when you need to correspond to a group of contacts, accounts, opportunities, or leads.

To use Mail Merge

1. Do one of the following:
1. On the Write menu, click Mail Merge.
2. From the Task Pane on some detail views, click Mail Merge.
2. In the Mail Merge dialog box select a template.
3. Click the Merge Options tab to set the Merge Options.
4. Click the History Options tab to set the History Options.
5. If you selected Printer as the output option on the Merge Options tab and are printing address labels, ensure the printer has paper and labels loaded.
6. Click Merge.
7. If you selected Edit template for all records in the Merge Options, in the editor dialog box, complete the edits to the template, then click Save and Close.
8. If the template requires an address selection or the record has more than one address, select an address on the Select Type of Address dialog box.
9. If you selected Edit individual <document>prior to sending in the Merge Options, use the Edit Merged Documents dialog box to select an item and complete the edits. When finished making edits, click Done.
10. If you receive a message that an approximate number of merges will fail, choose to Continue or Cancel the merge. If you choose to continue, when the merge finishes, an error message appears asking if you would like to view the Mail Merge Issue group. If you click Yes, the Mail Merge Issues group opens. If you click No, the dialog box closes, and you are returned to the view you were on when you initiated Mail Merge.
