Crsating the Marge File
To use the Data Merge function, you must first create a Merge file, which is a file
containing the names, addresses or other data to be inserted into the document.
You create that file using the Mail Merge application. For details, see “Mail Merge”
on page 117.
Also be sure to remember which label numbers (columns) in the Merge file corre­
spond to the different pieces of information you want to insert.
