think I missed a bit:

open blank doc > tools > mail merge > 1. create > form letters > active window > edit >2. get data > create data source > add field names (eg; name, address etc. > save > 1. edit form letter doc 1 > insert mail merge > pick merge items (eg; name, address etc. > complete rest of doc > tools > mail merge > 3. merge > save > print.
