Describe types of data sources that can be used in a mail merge process, explaining strengths of each data source and why you might choose one over the other.

What will be an ideal response?


A data source for a mail merge process can be a Word table, an Excel worksheet, an Access table or query, or an Outlook contact list. A Word table is simple to develop but does not include the full functionality and strength in summarizing as an Excel worksheet or Access table. If you have an Outlook account, the accessibility of contact information makes it a good choice for such routine mail merge procedures as addressing labels, envelopes, or inside addresses of form letters.
