I have a letter that I have to send out, and need help merging all the names and addresses

Hi how are you,

I have a physical letter I have to send out, and I've seen someone make a list of all the names in Microsoft Word, and then it automatically substitutes the names and their home addresses and makes a letter for each one. How do I do this? Is there a guide to how to do this? I'm guessing this is extremely common in the email marketing world and I sound like a complete noob but I've never done this before.

Thanks

Hi, it's called mail merge -- google is your friend
as is the application's F1 Help manual.

  So I got the mail merge to work, the only problem is the excel spreadsheet has the name of the people in one cell and is ordered last name, first name. But both are in ONE cell. This is a problem because I need it to read, Dear Joe Smith... Not Dear Smith, Joe. Is there any way of fixing this?
