MAIL MERGE IN PAGEMAKER
MAIL MERGE IN PAGEMAKER
We all know about Mail Merge feature in MS-Word. Like Word PageMaker also provides us the facility to Mail Merge which is here known as Data Merge.
Data Merge can be found under Window Menu - Plug-in Palettes - Show Data Merge Palette.
When we click on Show Data Merge Palette we get a new Tool Bar on Screen as Data Merge.
On Data Merge Tool Bar we have to click on Select Data Source. Where we get a dialogue box which provides option to choose a file with extension CSV or TXT.
For making a CSV file we can easily use excel and feed the data required accordingly.
Now type a letter which has to be commonly send or matter on which data is to be merged.
Here I will explain Data Merge with an Example.
I had fed the following data in MS-Excel & save it as .CSV in my computer. .CSV which I had chosen shows as .CSV (comma delimited)
While entering data always start with the very first cell of the sheet. And first row will always contain the headings. As I have entered Name, Course, Topics, Issue Date.
Now I had made a simple proforma of Certificate in PageMaker which looks as given below:
Now we will open the Data Merge Toolbar as I have told earlier and click on Select Data Source & than select our CSV file. Once we have selected the CSV file we can see the headings on the Data Merge Toolbar ready to be inserted. It looks like as given below:
Now we will place the headings in the Certificate made where ever required. Now your documents looks like as given below:
We can tick on preview to see the Certificate with Data. Once you tick on Preview you can see the Certificate with Data and also you can see all records by pressing forward & backward button.
The final data looks as given below:
Other buttons will also get activated
Preview Records: This shows the matter with data.
Merge Records: To merge records to new PageMaker document. (This we will learn in detail in my another blog).
Go To Record: To directly go to a particular Record directly.
Hope the information in this blog is useful.
