Default mail merge label question

Hello,

I created a page by going into Mailing / Labels / Options and creating a
new label for landscape letter size paper and having 4 equally divided
regions for making postcards. I then clicked on the new document button
and formatted each postcard the way I wanted it, starting off with the
word "Dear" and followed by the rest of what I wanted to appear.

How can I add a mail merge field after the word "Dear" so that I get a
different name filled in for each of the 4 postcards on the page (each
of the 4 have different clip arts inserted. I would actually have a list
of about 20 names for this so it would work out to 5 sheets worth.

I have a similar question with regards to the reverse of the postcard.
I created a second document repeating what I described in my first
paragraph to have my name and address in one corner. I would also like
to mail merge in to the center the recipients address details - how
would that be done?

Thanks,
Ben
