Answer 1

Jupyter Notebook

1. Open Anaconda Prompt and press 'conda install lxml'

2. You should get that "The following packages will be UPDATED:" press 'y'

3. In your jupyter notebook write !pip install docx-mailmerge

4. Then you can simply write this:

   from future import print_function

   from mailmerge import MailMerge

   from datetime import date

5. That is all, it should work
