Create the Recipient List

When you open a new Word document, the page layout is Portrait: 81/2" x 11". In this lesson, we are going to create a list of clients who purchased our products. This data will be the Recipient List for the Mail Merge.

Picture in your mind the information that is needed: it is a Table. Each client will have a row in this table. In the first column will be the client's name. To the right of the name will be many, many columns for the address, so it makes sense to change the Page Layout.

1. Try This: Change the Page Layout

Go to Page Layout ->Page Setup.

Go to Orientation-> Landscape.

Keep going...
