^___^
the doc. stated the process in fine details
but of course, some of you might not feel the need to do so
but definately, i would state what you need to have done, before starting the mail merge ie a database with records and fields properly defined and entered; a word document application ready.
then i would go and step out how it will be done technically, ie summarise that table in the doc file
and in the end, if it is one of those last questions that worth 5+ marks, i would explain how the data got in the doc.

Give a definition and then briefly state the steps invoved (which is found in the attachment provided by the other dude). Thats what i would do, you don't have to give specifics and another good thing to do is kinda roughly sketch what the finished product would look like.

yeah, if you have a quick read of the attachment, you will have a brief idea od what to write. Just have a read and you will understand. The following is from the attachment:
On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Mail Merge to open the Mail Merge task pane.
In the task pane, click the document type you want to create. Click Next: Starting document at the bottom of the task pane to move to the next step.
Choose your starting document by clicking an option in the task pane.
Click Next: Select recipients at the bottom of the task pane.
You don't have to be so to the point, but kinda summarise the above . . note: the above isn't all of it, there is still more steps involoved.
