Key Rules for Using Merge Tags
- Enclose all merge tags in carets (^), e.g., ^Client_Name^.

- The text inside the carets acts as the merge field label.
For example, a Cover Letter. You will include your contact's first and last name, address in your merge document where you want your contact's information to appear. Once you submit your merge document, you will see the contact's information where the merge tags were placed.
