In this video, you will learn Mail Merge in LibreOffice Writer in a simple and easy way. This is an important practical topic for NIELIT O Level and A Level students and is also widely used in real-life situations like creating personalized letters, labels, envelopes, and certificates.

📌 What is Mail Merge?

Mail Merge is a feature that allows you to create personalized documents for many people at once. It combines:

Main Document → A letter, certificate, or email template.

Data Source → A list of names, addresses, or details (usually in LibreOffice Calc).

For example: If you have to send admission letters to 100 students, instead of typing 100 letters, you create one letter template and connect it to a spreadsheet of student details. LibreOffice Writer will automatically generate 100 personalized letters.
