Default greeting

I am attempting to insert greeting into merged word letter. Everything else
is OK. Can anyone help a dummy?

Is the greeting a merge field? If so just type it in:

Dear <firstname

Thanks - have created greeting cell, but cant make it work - will try again
and let you know. In word merge, "address" gives me choices - one is Mr. and
Mrs, but when I merge, I get Mr and Mrs first name, last name. I'm doing
something wrong no doubt.

I thought that I had created a merge field, just as I did with Address 1,
Address2, City, State, Zip, but I still cannot make it work - just tried
again. Is there another program that is more dummy friendly?

Got it I think! Thanks again...had to insert "greeting" in 'more items", not
"greeting field".
