                  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. However, you do not want to change the information in every letter separately. You
                  can easily do this by using the Mail Merge feature of Word 2019.

                      It saves time and effort.
                      It allows to make changes in several letters very quickly.
                      It allows to produce thousands of letters quickly.

                       Main Document: It is a document that contains the text of the letter which we want to send
                     to our friends.

                       Data Source: It is a separate file that contains all the information about the recipients of the letter.
                       Merged Document: It is the final document created by merging the Main Document and
                     Data Source. It contains a list of letters with text and detail of a person.
