# Plus2: Mail Merge

HTML version: [Plus2: Mail Merge](https://support.gladstonesoftware.cloud/plus2/plus2-mail-merge)

## Problem
Users need to generate a list of email addresses from Plus2 for use in a mail merge, typically by exporting the data to an Excel-compatible file.

## Resolution

1. Go to **Configuration > General > Export File Definitions**.
2. Create a new export file definition.
3. In the **General Details** tab:
    - Set the **Name** (e.g., "Email Export" or similar).
    - Set the **Description** (e.g., "Email export to Excel" or similar).
    - In the two boxes, locate and select **Home email address**.
    - Press the **">"** button to move it to the "Selected fields" area.
4. Go to the **Output Format** tab:
    - Set **Output type** to **Comma Separated Values**.
    - Tick the **Output Header** box.
    - Set **Extension** to **DAT**.
5. Save the new export file definition.
6. Go to the **Report Generator**.
    - Select the report group as **Exports**.
    - Select your export report and click **Create**.
7. The exported file with the email addresses will be saved in the `Data\Exports` folder (the location may be `M:\Data\Exports`).

## Notes
- The actual save location for the export may differ based on your configuration, but is typically in the `Data\Exports` folder.
