- Product
- WPS Office Writer and Spreadsheets
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- A user maintains customer data in Excel and needs to turn it into a clean, professional printable profile without manually copying fields or printing empty sections.
- Observed behavior
- Manual data entry or complex Publisher mail merge creates extra pages, irrelevant blank sections, and too much manual handling of customer records.
Prepare one Excel worksheet with a header row and one customer per row, and make sure every column you want in the profile has a clear header. Close the workbook before you connect it in WPS Writer so the mail merge data source reads correctly.
Create Printable Customer Profiles with WPS Writer Mail Merge from Excel
Best for one-to-one customer profiles where each Excel row contains the main customer details you want to print.
WPS Writer Mail Merge connects to an Excel or WPS Spreadsheets file and inserts merge fields directly into a printable layout. This reduces manual entry and creates a consistent profile for each customer.
Open WPS Spreadsheets, place customer data in a table with headers such as Customer Name, Address, Phone, Email, and any conditional fields in their own columns. Save the file to your computer.
Open WPS Writer, click the Mailings tab, choose Mail Merge, and select the Excel file you saved as the data source.
Click Insert Merge Field and place fields like Name, Address, and Phone into your profile layout. Arrange them as a printable form or ID-style layout.
Click Preview Results to check the layout, then use the recipient list to exclude blank rows or irrelevant customer records before merging.
Choose Finish & Merge to create individual documents, then print directly or export to PDF for a professional customer profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can WPS Office merge Excel data into printable customer profiles?
Yes. Open WPS Writer, click the Mailings tab, choose Mail Merge, connect the Excel or WPS Spreadsheets file, insert merge fields, and then finish the merge to print or export the profiles.
How do I hide empty fields or sections in a WPS mail merge?
Use Mailings > Rules > If...Then...Else. Set the condition to test whether a field is blank, and leave the Otherwise text empty so nothing appears when the data is missing.
Does WPS Writer support conditional sections based on related Excel tables?
WPS Writer conditional fields work well for optional columns in a flat Excel table. For many-to-many related tables, first flatten the data in WPS Spreadsheets using formulas such as VLOOKUP and CONCATENATE, or use a database-style reporting tool.
Can I export the merged customer profiles to PDF?
Yes. After you finish the mail merge, you can export the resulting document to PDF from WPS Writer for professional printing or sharing.
Does WPS Office support Microsoft Excel files for mail merge?
Yes. WPS Office can connect to .xlsx and .xls files created in Excel or WPS Spreadsheets. Keep one row per customer and use clear column headers for the best result.
