Figure 309: The Mail Merge dialog box
Editing merged documents
You may prefer to save the letters to a file, to allow for proofreading or some later
formatting. To do this:
1) In the Mail Merge dialog box (Figure 309), select File in the output section,
instead of using the default Printer selection.
2) This changes the dialog box to display the Save merged document section,
where Save as single document is pre-selected. You can choose to save each
letter as an individual document instead.
3) Click OK. In the Save as dialog box, enter a file name for the saved letters and
choose a folder in which to save them. The letters will be saved consecutively
as separate pages in the single document, or numbered consecutively in
individual files if saved as single documents.
You can now open the letters and edit them individually as you would edit any other
document.
