                  Let's consider, On your birthday, you are organising a small get-together at your home and
                  want to invite all your school friends. You have all personal and correspondence information
                  about them on your computer. And, you do not want to change the information in every letter
                  separately. You want to send the invitation letter to all simultaneously. This can be done easily
                  by using the Mail Merge feature of Word 2019.

                  of particular letter, so that the same letter is addressed to different recipients.
