There is a world of data outside of Publisher program that you can use with your Publisher program, but how do you import the data and secure it? The answer is all about making the right connections.

Use the Data Connection Wizard to import external data

In Publisher, you import external data by using mail merge. Use mail merge to create a large number of documents that are mostly identical but include some unique information, such as a product announcement that you are sending to your top 100 customers. You can also import text files, Excel worksheets, and Access tables or queries directly, without using a connection file. For more information, see Create a mail or e-mail merge in Publisher.
