Getting back to life................ Oh no.................

12/12/06

Today I was back in life. Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found out that yesterday the class learned about "Mail Merge" God knows what they mean. After a moment of trembling one of my friends explained to me what it means and how to use it. Mail merge are letters that have the same body text but different names, addresses, dates, etc.

Steps to use Mail Merge

• Go to tools
• Click on mail merge
• On the pop-up window click on create and click on form letters
• Under data click on create data source
• When you go to create data source add the fields (fields can be such as first name, last name, address, date, or holiday) that you need
• Make sure that you delete the fields that you don't need
• Save it
• Click on edit data source
• Put the information into the pop-up window
• Go back and type your letter
• Then go back to tools, mail merge and click on merge

We were assigned a project as well. The project was to write a mail merged letter to five people in the class or either some one we know. After we were done we were supposed to drop it in the drop off folder. That's pretty much what was going on yesterday. We spent today's class finishing the mail merge. That all for now.
