I’m actually really surprised that more people don’t know how to mail merge. This is really not a difficult concept.

You need set this up so that you have a column for each thing, a column for the name, a column for their street, and a column for their city and the state. Excel is really not that difficult to learn, and it actually pretty intuitive. Once you have this set up you can cycle any one of those columns through a field in Microsoft Word.

This is really a great feature for invitations and addressing envelopes. If you would like to know more there is a really great step-by-step guide on how to achieve this at addressingenvelopeseasily.com.
