How to Do a Mail Merge in Microsoft Word

Thank you cards or holiday cards, making labels, or emailing out a note to a large amount of recipients. Once you have an Excel spreadsheet that has all of the fields you might want to include in your communication, follow these steps outlined in the video above.

Me and a software engineer, (RIP) Steve Danielson who worked at NEC Technologies, Inc. in Boxboro Massachusetts in the 1980s created the first mail merge that I know of.
I asked Steven "Do you think you could create a software program to generate a faster way to send out the bills for data usage?" He and I worked on it and it was a success.
The company was very far behind sending out the invoices at the time.
We used WordStar data processing and SuperCalc. The 8 inch floppy was being replaced by 3.5 inch "floppy" disks.. My goodness I'm old lol .. Computers hadn't reached the Saturation Point so they were quite expensive then.
I loved that Japanese company. No American company I've worked for since then, can compare to their efficiency. Only job I ever left in tears

In your recipient list at 1:53 I see CompanyName, Address, etc data showing. My Data Source is correct, but I don't have any information in the merge fields. My merge works fine, and my fields are good, but for some reason I don't have any names or addresses showing so I can't deselect recipients. How to I get Word 2016 to populate those fields?

Do you know how to make a rule or fix format for 's and s'?
