How to check for errors when mail merge in Word 2010

When a mail merge occurs in a Word 2010 document, the user can check for errors before the mail merge, as described in the following steps, in order to avoid errors that cause paper waste.

Step 1th, open the Word 2010 document window and switch to the mail ribbon. Click the Auto Check Error button in the preview results group, as shown in Figure 2011080604.

Step 3rd, if there is an error in the mail merge document, the error report is displayed in the new document, and the user can modify the error according to the bug report. If there is no error, a prompt box prompts the user not to find the mail merge error, and clicks the OK button, as shown in Figure 2011080606.
