Generating and Printing Letters
A mail merge document contains standard text plus variables, which are the text that change with each letter, such as names, addresses, dates, and so on. When the mail merge document is merged with data, the variables are replaced with specific data stored with the selected patient or referring doctor. A letter is the end result of merging data into a mail merge document.
When you create a new mail merge document, a template is used to provide you with basic layouts, such as margin settings, fonts, letterheads, standard salutations, and standard closings.
