Thanks! I've been exploring various ways to do that sort of thing. Most of my usage is for creating proposals and reports, not generating multiple letters or Emails, though I've done some of that too.

I don't know how new you are to mail merge. There are some good task tutorials on most subjects on YouTube, but also if you are on LinkedIn and haven't already used a free trial to LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com), the Word courses taught by Gini Von Courter there are quite good. It's a full one month free trial (or at least it was recently) and I paid for a subsequent month, taking a bunch of courses when I changed jobs several years back.

Best of luck,

Ann
