Mail merge is the automatic transfer of data from a file like spreadsheet to an address label and/or personalized mailing items such as stationary, letter or envelopes. This kind of computer program is used for simplifying repetitive documents and tasks such as sending letters to the owners of Tax Lien properties. In the Tax Delinquent Investment business, it is important to know how to automate mundane business processes to maximize time and effort. One of the things you can do with this automated process is to merge the rows from an excel spreadsheet right into a letter in Microsoft Word. You do not need a funky macro or complicated programming for that. All you need to do is use standard Microsoft Word program.

The way you do this is very simple. These are the steps in learning how to do this:

- Open Microsoft Word
- Once you're in Microsoft Word you press the F1 key on your keyboard, which opens the Help.
- In the help section of MS Word, you would only need to type in "Mail Merge"

In the menu of help item, you will see a phrase, "How to do a mass mailing using Microsoft mail merge." If you click on that it will lead you through a tutorial. In older versions of WORD, a written tutorial with screenshots is available. In the new Microsoft word version, the tutorial is more interactive with video and audio. It seems like someone is actually talking to you and teaching you how to do this. Then you will have to open the attached sample letter. That is what the document you usually send to your prospective seller will look like. To personalize this letter, you would only need a spreadsheet file or excel file containing the data needed to personalize this letter.

At this point, the tutorial will then ask, "Which excel spreadsheets would you like to use as a source to fill your letter with the names?" Then you browse for the file located somewhere in your disk space. When located, you already have the two vital parts to your mail merge. You are now ready to prep your documents.

Finding the data from the spreadsheet to attach to your letter, the program will basically show you a list of fields that you can use from the spreadsheet. Choose whichever is necessary for your document from a drop down menu. Most likely you're going to be using the Full Name and the mailing address for your letter and/or your envelopes.

The last step once you've identified which field goes where into Word, is confirming the merge after seeing the preview. If all looks OK then you are just a click away from hundreds of personalized documents. This process is so easy you will easily remember how to do this. Mail Merge will become a regular task in your letter writing process. And personalizing will just be clicks away. If you send a letter of intent to a possible buyer, personalizing is key for them to know you are treating them as an individual, a special individual.
