Mail Merge Improvements<br />

Whether you used mail merge rarely or frequently in the previous versions of <strong>Office</strong> Word,<br />

you no doubt realized that mail merge was hard to find and work with, buried as it was inside<br />

the Tools menu. Today’s mail merge process is given greater visibility and easier access—now<br />

a Mailings command tab on the user interface enables you to create, preview, organize, and<br />

send a mailing quickly and efficiently. Click the Mailings tab to start the process; then click<br />

Start Mail Merge (see Figure 4-12) to find the familiar document choices. Each of the commands<br />

on the user interface enables you to follow the sequence of preparing your mailing<br />

for distribution.<br />

Figure 4-12<br />

Mail Merge has its own Mailings command tab in the <strong>Office</strong> Word <strong>2007</strong> user interface.<br />

Tip If you prefer having the Mail Merge Wizard lead you through the steps involved in<br />

creating a mass mailing, you can start the wizard by clicking Start Mail Merge and selecting<br />

Step By Step Mail Merge Wizard.
