For instance, given the above example you might want 150 individual document files, each two pages long. Thus, if you are merging the two-page letter with 150 different addresses, then you would end up with a 300-page document with 150 section breaks (one every two pages).įor some people, it would be more helpful if you could merge to individual files. For instance, if your merge document is a two-page letter, each letter in the resulting document is separated by a section break.
If you choose the latter option, the resulting document contains all the information that normally would have gone to the printer. When you use the mail-merge feature in Word, you have the option of either printing your results directly or creating a new document.
