Merging data into documents (mail merge)

You can insert information from a database document into another document
or frame by performing a mail merge.

You can merge a database document with:

1

a word processing document, to create a form letter that includes
personalized information for each recipient (for example, “Dear Chris”
instead of “Dear Customer”)

1

a spreadsheet document or frame, to create a report that’s easy to update
or to include a price list in a brochure
