Two Components of Mail Merge 1. Form Document - It is generally the document that contains the main body of the message we want to convey or send. The main body of the message is the part of the form document that remains the same no matter whom you send it to from among your list. - Also included in the form document is what we call place holders , also referred to as data fields or merge fields . This marks the position on your form document where individual data or information will be inserted. - Place holders are denoted or marked by the text with doubled-headed arrows (<<>>) on underlined text.
