• Mail Merge enables us to send the same letter to different persons in MS Word.
• It imports data from another source such as a spreadsheet and then uses that to replace placeholders throughout the message with the relevant information for each individual that is being messaged.

Additional Information

Advantages of mail merge:

1) It saves time and effort as only one document needs to be checked for errors, so there are also fewer chances of mistakes being done. 

2) The standard letter/template can be saved and reused.

Disadvantages of mail merge:

1) Mailmerge letters can lack a personal touch, because the only individual part, is the data merged from the database.

2) The database that provides the information, must be kept up to date.
