Word 2010-Mail Merge

About the Class:

This workshop lasts 3 hours.

In this workshop, participants will explore the tools available for automating the creation of individually customized documents in Microsoft Word. Participants will create a data file using Word, and use that data file to create a merged document of a personalized workshop certificate. The second merged document created will involve transferring a data document from Word to Excel, modifying the data, and generating a form letter for a mass mailing. Participants will then create a third merged form letter that contains conditional merge fields, so two variations of the letter are created at once. The data set for this third merge will be a query from an Access database.
