Which enables us to send the same letter to different persons in MS Word?

Correct answer: B

A
Status bar
B
Tool bar
Correct
C
Menu bar
D

Explanation and memory cue

In Microsoft Word (2007 and later), the Mail Merge feature, which enables sending the same letter to different recipients, is accessed via the Mailings tab on the Ribbon interface.

In earlier versions of Word (2003 and before), the Mail Merge functions were accessed via the Mail Merge toolbar. Other options like Status bar, Menu bar, and Title bar do not provide this functionality. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Tool bar' as it broadly refers to the Ribbon or toolbar where Mail Merge commands are found.
