Join Adam Wilbert for an in-depth discussion in this video Setting up labels and mail merge documents in Word, part of Access 2016 Essential Training.
- Using the data stored in your Access database…you can easily populate mail merge documents…in Word to create personalized letters…and other types of correspondence.…In order to start,…we need to gather the records…that we want to export out to Word.…So we could do that with a simple query.…I'll go ahead and start with the Create tab…and jump into a new query design environment.…I'm going to add in information from our Guests table…and our RoomAssignments here,…and close the Show Table window.…Now, I want to create a letter…that's tailored to guests of the hotel,…that have an upcoming visit scheduled.…I'm going to grab the FirstName and LastName…by double-clicking on them here in the Guests table,…and then over here on the RoomAssignments table,…I'll double-click on CheckinDate.…
Now I don't want everybody with a check-in date…on the RoomAssignments table,…I only want the ones that have…an upcoming visit.…So I'm going to come down here to the Criteria…and I'll just right-click it and say Zoom,…so I have some more room to write.…
