Need to send personalized emails to individuals all at one time? That is called an “Email Mail Merge.” I’m going to use Excel, Word, and Outlook – part of Microsoft 365 – to create and send bulk emails out. The order these apps are used would be Excel, then Word, and finally, Outlook.

Excel – stores the data of individuals.
Word – where all Mail Merges happen, including an Email mail merge
Outlook – Sends emails to individuals.

If you had 100 people in Excel, after setting up the mail merge in Word, you should end up with 100 Sent items in Outlook’s Sent folder.

I keep my list of individuals in an Excel spreadsheet. Your header row or fields must be in row 1 of Excel. I may need the following fields: title, first name, last name, department, company, job title, and other fields. The one field you MUST have that I didn’t list was the person’s email address.

E-mail or Email?
Do you use a hyphen in the word email? An example is “e-mail.” The Associated Press stylebook recently decided to go with “email,” and The Chicago Manual of Style announced that in its forthcoming 17th editing, the style will be “email” without a hyphen.
