How to mail merge for FREE
using word, excel &outlook
For the purpose of this presentation I’m going to assume you have a functioning mail client (outlook) that has been configured
(pop3,IMAP,etc) and ready to email
Get you database ready. Basic fields you should think of are: Name | Email | Additional Snippets (further detailed information specific to that recipient) >once done save in any version of Excel (xls,xlsx,csv)
• Prepare your email • For the purpose of this tutorial I’m using a simple word
document with tables (centered to document)• You can make it as fancy as you want
• Start the mail merge• Mailings>start mail merge>step-by-step mail merge• menu should appear on the side
• Choose email as your document type • If you have already designed your mailer and are satisfied with it • In my case I am using a template that I previously created
• Use the database you created in slide 1 by clicking the browse option
• Select which sheet to use and determine which contacts u want included in your mail merge
• Choose where in the document you want each field• You can get creative here and add in multiple fields to add in. • Basic field would be the name
• Make sure to check that the names/ details display correctly
• Add in title, double check email addresses • Leave the mail format on html (unless it’s purely a text based
mail) • Double check that outlook is open
• Outlook should auto populate and auto send • Make sure the internet is connected • Have fun spamming your friends
