    Data source: The file, often a spreadsheet or database, that holds the variable
                          information like names and addresses.

                          Merge fields: The placeholders in the main document that are linked to specific
                          columns in the data source and are replaced with unique information for each
                          recipient.

                      The process essentially combines the Main document with the Data source using

                      the Merge fields to create multiple personalised documents.

                                               letter.

                      The main document is created.

                      CREATING A DATA SOURCE

                      The next step is to create a recipient list for your invitation. To create a data source,
                      follow the given steps:

                              2     Click on the Select Recipients drop-down arrow.

                                                                                      1    Click on the Mailings tab.

                                                                                      3    Select Type a New List.
