Below is a quick list of documents
that we hope will be helpful in your quest for the Eagle rank.
The accuracy of the information will only be as good as the currency
of the updated files. So help your next Eagle friend by
sending updates to the web. This is especially pertinent to the
address file which is always changing.

After the Eagle project is
completed you will now start one of the most labor intensive jobs
that will need to be accomplished. Namely sending out letters
of congratulations to important people. Below I have assembled
the files necessary to merge a form letter with an address database.
What is mail
merge?
A special feature in your word program that takes repetitive
information from one file, such as names, and address and combines
(merges) with a form document or letter that is inserted at user
defined points within that document. This is really slick when
it works and will save your many hours.
Gathering
the information needed
Download the files below to your hard drive noting where you stored
them. I will walk you through using Microsoft Office XP. One
file, the data file, will contain the names, and address.
Another file, the form document, will be the basic letter you wish
to send. The last file is for the envelopes.

Putting the
merge together
Open a blank document. On the tools menu, point to "Letters and
Mailing" and then click "Mail Merge Wizard". Under "Select document
type" click "Letters". Click "Next: Starting document" "Start
from existing document". Select the Letter File. Next
"Select Recipients" select Address File, select "All","OK" "Write
your letters"" then print. Congrats you are a wizard.
