Figure 317: Edit document
You can also edit the body of the document. If you started with a blank
document, you can write the whole letter in this step. Click Edit
Document to shrink the wizard to a small window so you can easily
edit the letter.
Figure 318: Minimized mail merge wizard
You need to perform another important task in this step. The wizard
only inserts information from the name and address fields, but you may
wish to add additional data. In our example, we want to tell each
person how many points they had accumulated during the year; that
information is in the spreadsheet.
To do this:
1) Click Edit Document in step 6 of the wizard.
2) Choose Insert > Fields > Other. The Fields dialog box opens.
3) Click the Database tab.
4) On the left hand side, select Mail merge fields.
5) Under Database selection find your data source (in this
example, it is a spreadsheet). Expand it to see the fields.
