What are merge fields?Show answer
A merge field is a placeholder in the main document that stands for a column in the data source. For example, you place a Name field where the recipient's name should appear. When you merge, the software replaces each Name field with the real name from that row. So the main document might begin "Dear «Name»," and each finished letter shows the real name.
What is not previewing before finishing?Show answer
A small mistake repeats across every letter. Preview a few first to catch it once, not 40 times.
