Resume a mail merge

If you need to stop working on a mail merge, you can save the main document and resume the merge later. Microsoft Word retains the data source and field information, and keeps your place in the Mail Merge task pane.

1. On the File menu, click Save As, and then name and save your document as usual.
2. When you're ready to resume the merge, open the document.

   The text of the document, along with any fields you inserted, appears.

3. On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Mail Merge.

   Word displays the Mail Merge task pane, opened to the step where you left off.

4. Continue the merge as usual.
