How Do You View Merged Documents In Microsoft Word Before Printing?
Use mail merge to create a form letter and have Microsoft Word automatically fill in names, addresses, and more. It’s wise to preview the merged documents before printing them, particularly if you’re producing a lot of documents. These instructions are for Word 97 and 2000 (PC) and Word 98 (Mac). If you haven’t already created a form letter and data source document for merging, see “How to Create a Main Mail Merge Document in Microsoft Word.” Open the mail merge form letter. Go to the Tools menu and select Mail Merge. Click the Merge button. Make sure New Document is selected in the “Merge to” menu. Select the All button in the “Records to be merged” box. Select “Don’t print blank lines when data fields are empty” in the “When merging records” box. Click Merge and all your merge documents will appear combined into one new document. You can inspect them all before printing.
