In this video I look at performing a mail merge where my contact list is in Excel and my mail merge document is in Microsoft Word. The mail merge wizard leads me through the steps to complete the merge for letters, emails, envelopes and labels.

Formatting in merge fields can be an issue as the formatting applied in Excel doesn't carry over to Word. This video explains how to use mail merges switches to format date, time, percentage, currency and text merge fields.
