Using FaxMerge with Microsoft Word/Office 2000, XP and 2003

Before beginning this section make sure you've already installed FaxMerge. See Installing
FaxMerge for more information.
With Microsoft Word/Office 2000, XP and 2003, the MailMerge wizard will take you through
the steps involved in using FaxMerge. These steps include:
1. Creating a data source that includes recipient information, i.e., names, fax num-
bers, etc.
2. Using MailMerge to create a Main document.
3. Attaching a data source to your MailMerge document.
4. Inserting the fields into the Main document.
5. Faxing merged documents.

Creating a Data Source

Possible data source database types can include Access, Text, CSV and dBase files. The
example used here is an Excel file with simple entries. After creating the file, save it in an
easily accessible location. You'll be retrieving it later when you merge your documents.
