How do you finish a Mail Merge by printing or emailing?

• A. Home > Replace; finalize.
• B. Mailings > Finish & Merge > Print Documents or Merge to Email; follow prompts.
• C. References > Table of Contents > Update.
• D. Review > Language > Set Proofing Language.

Answer: (B)

To finish a Mail Merge by printing or emailing, you complete the merge from the Mailings tab by choosing Finish & Merge and then selecting Print Documents or Merge to Email, then follow the prompts. This step actually creates the final output for each recipient—either printing separate letters or sending individualized emails—using your main document as the template and the data from your data source.

The other options shown in different tabs aren’t part of finishing a mail merge: the Home tab’s Replace is for finding and substituting text, the References tab’s Table of Contents updates or inserts a table of contents, and the Review tab’s Set Proofing Language adjusts language and proofing settings.
