Now we can merge this to a new document so we create a new document where each page hass a different address, or we can simply send it directly to the printer. So if you choose your address book obviously, you'd be using addresses that are in your address book. Either your address book or a numbers document. There's two different sources you can choose. Now, we wanted to print out, say a whole bunch of envelopes based on a list, we would do that using the edit mail merge option. Starting with envelopes, we'll just pick a traditional envelope here, choose it, and then we get to see this simple envelope document with some sample text in there. So when we run Pages, we're given the template chooser, and we can choose a blank document, but in this case, let's start using letters or envelopes. So you can do this in iWork Pages as well. So you can have one letter and then printout say thousands of copies of it, each one with its own heading with a different name in it. This is where you take a list of names and addresses and you can use a program like a word processor to print out either envelopes with one name and address on each envelope, or letters replacing the name as beginning of the letter with one of the names from the list. So one of the things computers have done for more than half a century is the mail merge.
