Mail Merge allows you to produce replicated business documents such as form letters, personalized proposals or quotations. It operates much like Mail or Data Merge facilities in other word processors.
Create a document, which contains merge tokens that mark where data should be substituted. Then, create a data file consisting of a record of data for each document you will generate. Each record contains fields, the actual text to be inserted in place of the tokens in the template document. Combine these two documents, using the Merge Data Panel, into a new document in which all the substitutions are made.
To load the merge data, click the File button on the Merge Data panel. Select a file containing the formatted merge data. Click the OK button.  You can also select the Pasteboard button (or select the Paste command) to load the contents of the pasteboard.
