Mail-merging is the process of merging variable data and fixed
text.
Using mail-merging, you can create individualised letters,
envelopes, labels and other documents without having to
laboriously create each individual one.
Mail-merging naturally fulfils one of the DfESs conditions of
reducing the administrative burden on teachers, namely that
when data is inputted into a computer system it should be
right first time. One of the aspects of this principle is that
computer data should not have to be re-entered in order to
generate a different view of it.

Advantages of mail-merging
It can save a lot of time over the long term.
Recipients often feel as if they have been given individual
attention.
Disadvantages of mail-merging
It can take a long time to set up initially, and so may not be
worth it for a one-off job.
Recipients often feel as if they have been given individual
attention. This is not always a good idea.
