How do you insert Merge Fields into the main document?

• A. References > Insert Caption; choose Label.
• B. Home > Replace.
• C. View > Page Layout.
• D. Mailings > Insert Merge Field; choose fields like FirstName, LastName, etc.

Answer: (D)

In a mail merge, the main document is the template that will be personalized for each recipient. To place data from your source into that template, use the Mailings tab and choose Insert Merge Field, then pick a field such as FirstName, LastName, or other data you have in your list. The selected field becomes a placeholder in the main document and will be replaced with the actual data when you complete the merge. This is the correct method because it directly pulls information from your data source into the document, unlike options that are for captions, find/replace, or different views. If needed, you must first connect to your data source so the fields you see are the ones available to insert.
