Describe Mail Merge feature in MS Word. Write the steps that you follow in order to create a Macro in MS Word.

Mail Merge generates many personalized letters from one template + Excel list (e.g. NOC rate notices to 200 dealers). Steps: prepare Excel (Name|District|Rate) → type body in Word → Mailings → Start Merge → Letters → Select Recipients (Excel) → Insert Merge Fields → Preview → Finish & Merge (Print/Email).

Macro in Word (automate repeats): A macro records/plays keystrokes via VBA — e.g. auto-format daily stock table.

1. View → Macros → Record Macro → name FormatStock, store in document.
2. Perform steps once (bold header, set font, add borders).
3. Stop Recording.
4. Run: View → Macros → View Macros → FormatStock → Run on tomorrow's file. Assign button/shortcut for one-click use.
5. Caution: enable only trusted macros (macros can carry viruses); save as .docm if macro must travel with file.

Merge = many outputs, Macro = one-click repeat.
