Finally… You’re Done!
![Page 20: Merging Documents in Word Mail Merge. Main Document Types Document TypeHow it is Typically Used in a Mail Merge LettersTo send letters to a group after.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649db55503460f94aa731d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Finally…
Use the Print options to only print the first three documents.
Remember: you have to specify the page number followed by the section number
(Ex. p1s1-p1s3)
The 1 page (plus your cover sheet, of course) is the only page you will need to print; however all files should be saved to your storage device. Do not print all of the letters--just the first four. To print without extra blank pages in-between your letters, in the Header and Footer Tab, Deselect the Different Odd & Even Pages. Then your pages will not print with the extra blank pages in-between your letters. (Note: This is a new default with Office 2010—see next slide for picture capture)
