using namespace Aspose::Words;
void MailMerge()
{
    // ExStart:MailMerge
    // Create a new document.
    System::SharedPtr doc = System::MakeObject();
    doc->get_MailMerge()->set_CleanupOptions(MailMergeCleanupOptions::RemoveUnusedFields);

    // Execute mail merge.
    doc->get_MailMerge()->Execute(
        { u"FullName", u"Company", u"Address", u"Address2", u"City" },
        { { u"James Bond", u"MI6", u"Milbank", u"", u"London" },
          { u"Ethan Hunt", u"IMF", u"Curzon Street", u"", u"London" } });

System::SharedPtr doc = System::MakeObject();
System::SharedPtr builder = System::MakeObject(doc);

// Set paragraph borders
System::SharedPtr borders = builder->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_Borders();
borders->set_DistanceFromText(20);
borders->idx_get(BorderType::Left)->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::Double);
borders->idx_get(BorderType::Right)->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::Double);
borders->idx_get(BorderType::Top)->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::Double);
borders->idx_get(BorderType::Bottom)->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::Double);

// Set paragraph shading

shading->set_Texture(TextureIndex::TextureDiagonalCross);
shading->set_BackgroundPatternColor(System::Drawing::Color::get_LightCoral());
shading->set_ForegroundPatternColor(System::Drawing::Color::get_LightSalmon());
