Automated Mail Merge

algeee · #1 01-11-2016, 05:33 PM

I'm familiar with doing mail merges in Word using data from Excel but is there a way to have the Word and Excel documents permanently linked so that my mailing labels are automatically updated as I add new data to Excel? It appears that you have to create a new mail merge every time from scratch.

One you set up a mailmerge and save the mailmerge main document, you should be able to add/delete/edit records in the data source at will (provided the mailmerge main document is closed at the time). You shouldn't have to re-do the merge from scratch each time.
