Mail Merge

[Guest]

What are the benefits to performing a mail merge in Excel over Word. Can you
perform a mail merge in Excel 2002 and can you direct me to any articles that
discuss the process?

The merge would not be done in Excel, Excel would merely be the source table
for the merge data. I would suggest the Word Mail Merge forum here at Office
on-line. Additional information can be obtained by going to the Word MVP
site:

That is Word function basically.

Excel can be used by itself......John Walkenbach has a downloadable workbook at

But Word would be my choice.

For help on Word mail merge using Excel or Access as the data source.

I have used the method described by Gord many times. Just easier than
fiddling with Word.
