I'm creating a mail merge letter. If I use the email function will it send
the entire file or each letter individually to the contact?

Create the mail merge main document as a form letter type and then when you
execute the merge, select Email as the destination. You will then be asked
to select the field in the data source that contains the email addresses and
when you execute the merge, a separate email message will be sent to each
address.

Hope this helps.

But what will be in the email, just the letter for that person, or all of the
letters? Sorry for my denseness, it's just not sinking in.

Just the letter with the data from the record that contains each individual
email address.

If you tell your e-mail application not to send messages immediately, the
merge will pile up in your outbox which will allow you to see exactly what
you are sending.
