Could someone, in baby steps, tell me how to mail merge a
word document/letter with all records (names and
addresses) of a table. Please keep in mind I am not
computer literate. THANKS

Create your letter in Word and save.
Open the table or query in Access with the data you need.
Choose File/Export to save as an Excel file.
Open the Word letter and choose Tools/Mail Merge.
Create/Form Letters/Active Window
Choose Get Data/Open Source (change file type to all
files, select your excel file, click open)
If a "cell range" window appears, click on your named
file...then "ok".
Choose Edit Main Document. Look for "Insert Merge Field"
from the toolbar and place each field in your document
where appropriate (using punctuation and the return key).
Re-save Word docuement.
Pull down Tools/Mail Merge again.
Click Merge...twice.

Hope that helps!
