Prepare for the holidays: Write and send a newsletter with Word

The Mail Merge task pane opening from the Tools menu

Callout 1 To start a mail merge, on the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Mail Merge.
Callout 2 First choose the type of document you're working on: Click Labels.
Callout 3 Read the description of the option you just chose to make sure it's the right one.
Callout 4 Click the Next link to continue. The task pane leads you through the remaining five steps.

You're done writing your holiday newsletter and now you want to mail it, so you'll need to create some labels for your envelopes.

To start, open the Mail Merge task pane, as shown in the picture on the left.

The task pane leads you through the process step by step. The first step is to indicate what type of "document" you're working on—in this case, labels.

Note    Although you can also run a mail merge by using the Mail Merge toolbar, this process is more complicated. If you're new to mail merge, the task pane is your best option.
