Dear, Mr/Mrs/student/teacher ?

Have you ever wanted to write a letter to a group of people, but just didn't have time to write different letters to everyone? Well here's a trick that's cool. Its called Mail Merge. You can find this feature on Word. You simply go to format, Mailing and letters. Then something on the side of your page will appear asking you to choose your recipients. You don't have to spend all your time writing a separate letter to everyone. You can simply put each person's information into a template, and save it there. Once you are ready to write your letter, type one copy. And for each person, you just insert their name, address and information from a mailing list. Companies use this often. For example, when you get a letter saying that you have just won an all expense payed trip to Hawaii, with your name, address and information on it, be sure that the company has sent the same letter to many other people, but have just changed their name, address and information to match them. This is a very useful feature to use, especially when you are writing letters to a number of people, wanting to say the same thing, use mail merge.
So the next time you receive a letter saying that you have won something or to come claim your prize, be sure that the company most likely doesn't have a clue who you are, and has sent that same exact letter to all of their customers!

Bye for now.
