setting up the layout, click on
the
Mail Merge icon on the
toolbar and the “Merge”
window will open.
In the Merge to menu, there are
several choices for where and
how the data is exported. The
two that concern us are “New
Document” and “Printer”. If
you choose “New Document”,
the merge will be created in
your word application with a
separate record for each address. If you choose “Printer”, the merge will send directly to the Printer and each record
will be printed.
The next selection is “Records to be merged”. You can select
All or From .
The last selection is “When merging records”. The default is “Don’t print blank lines when data fields are empty.”
This should be left checked.
Clicking on Merg e will start merging the documents.
If you chose to send the merge directly to the Printer and the Printer is connected to the computer and turned ON,
the Printer will start. Pressing the
ENTER key will start the printing process.
If you have a graphic or fixed text to be printed with the data, refer to the section on Overlays .
