in mail merge can you add something in to the body of the letter
 

I am doing a mail merge which requires the opening sentence to
say; "We are pleased that you and Mary will be attending our
meeting".
Can I add the spouse's name into the body of the letter through mail
merge?
Please advise. Thank you.
Eva

Eva,

As long as it is part of your database, yes. Just insert the field where you want it prior to doing
the merge:

"We are pleased that you and <SpouseName will be attending our meeting".
