About this tag
The cover letters tag on WindowsForum.com collects practical guidance for producing job application letters with Microsoft 365 tools rather than relying on generic AI output. The tagged discussion walks through building tailored cover letters using Excel and Word mail merge, so a single data source can drive personalized letters for many applications.

The recurring theme is efficiency without losing a human voice, aimed at readers comfortable automating document workflows in Office.
