Default Mail Merge- Creating document

I'm not familiar with mail merge but I know basically how it works. My
question is I'm creating a word document to use as the form letter for my
mail merge. I'm using an Excel file as my database for the merge. When
creating the document for my form letter, do I have to create it a special
way? (i.e. template or other?) Or can I just create a regular .doc file?

Thanks!

A regular .doc file is required. See
