They will complete the merging of database and main (form) files to produce a letter and a directory as well as producing mail labels from merge process. Students will become familiar with maintaining the database file by using the delete, add, edit and find record option as well as use the sort and filter option to effectively "select" recipients in the database file.

 Course Description Mail Merge with Word Mail merge is a feature of Word that will allow you to create original letters and other documents, including mailing labels and directories for a specific group of people, places or things. The concept of mail merge is the merging of a database file containing names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and other constant data into a document or form (letter for example) to produce a third document. This third document is called the merged document, resulting from the merging of the database to the document or form. You will learn how to create a database containing records. Your sample database could be all of your family and friends. Taking this class will help you with printing mailing labels from the database of family and friends so that you can decide, for example, who will get a Christmas card, a birthday party invitation, an invitation to a retirement ceremony, etc. The goal of this class is to show you how to use the Mail Merge feature in Word to: - Create letters
- Produce mailing labels (with graphics)
- Produce a personal directory
- Maintain your database file
Creating a database of family and friends may take a little time. However, in the long run, you will see that it is a time saver because you can use your database over and over again with different documents. This class contains not only lecture notes but also screen images to make the learning easier. This is a FUN class!
