Introduction

Word 2007 is a full-featured word processing program that enables users to create
professional-quality documents, such as letters, brochures, newsletters and web pages.
Microsoft Word 2007 uses the new Microsoft Office interface. Menus and toolbars have been
removed and are replaced with a Ribbon with Tabs. Each Tab collects together commands
with related functions. When a Tab is selected the buttons (or commands) related to that
Tab appear on the Ribbon. The buttons are arranged in Groups by function.
Most of the old word toolbar buttons are on the tab of the ribbon. Microsoft
has tried to gather together the things youll use most often onto this TAB

Getting Started

Menus
When you begin to explore Word 2007 you will notice a new look to the menu bar. There are
three features that you should remember as you work within Word 2007: the Microsoft
Office Button, the Quick Access Toolbar, and the Ribbon. These three features contain many
of the functions that were in the menu of previous versions of Word. The functions of these
three features will be more fully explored below.

The Microsoft Office Button

The Microsoft Office button performs many of the functions that were located in the File
menu of older versions of Word. This button allows you to create a new document, open an
existing document, save or save as, print, send (through email or fax), publish or close.
The Ribbon

The Ribbon is the panel at the top portion of the document. It has seven tabs: Home,
Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, and View that contain many new and
existing features of Word. Each tab is divided into groups. The groups are logical collections
of features designed to perform functions that you will utilize in developing or editing your
Word document. Commonly used features are displayed on the Ribbon, to view additional
features within each group, click on the arrow at the bottom right of each group.

Each of the tabs contains the following tools:


Home: Clipboard, Fonts, Paragraph, Styles, and Editing.
Insert: Pages, Tables, Illustrations, Links, Header & Footer, Text, and Symbols

Page Layout: Themes, Page Setup, Page Background, Paragraph, Arrange


References: Table of Contents, Footnote, Citation & Bibliography, Captions, Index, and
Table of Authorities
Mailings: Create, Start Mail Merge, Write & Insert Fields, Preview Results, Finish
Review: Proofing, Comments, Tracking, Changes, Compare, Protect
View: Document Views, Show/Hide, Zoom, Window, Macros
Quick Access Toolbar

The quick access toolbar is a customizable toolbar that contains commands that you may
want to use. You can place the quick access toolbar above or below the ribbon. To change
the location of the quick access toolbar, click on the arrow at the end of the toolbar and click
on Show Below the Ribbon.

You can also add items to the quick access toolbar. Right click on any item in the Office
Button or the Ribbon and click on Add to Quick Access Toolbar and a shortcut will be added
to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Green plants are the only living thing, which can store the sunlight (light energy) as
chemical energy in their green leaves. This process is called as photosynthesis, for this,
plants need.

CHAPTER 8
MAIL MERGE

So, what is mail merge exactly? Quite simply, it is a way of placing content from a
spreadsheet, database, or table into a Microsoft Word document. Mail merge is ideal for
creating personalized form letters or labels instead of editing the original letter several
times to input different personalized information. As you can imagine, this can save a
lot of time as well as worry about not changing all of the information for the new
recipient.
In order to create a mail merge, two documents are needed: a Word document and a
file with the data or records. This file can take many forms, such as an Excel
spreadsheet, a database, or even another Word document that has a table in it.

To start the Mail Merge in the new Word 2007, click on the Mailings tab. The
Ribbon, the groups of commands you see on each tab, replaces the toolbars and
menus. Commands are organized in groups related to activities such as you see
below in the Create, Start Mail Merge, and Write & Insert Fields groups on the
Mailings tab.

When you click on the arrow beside Start Mail Merge, a drop-down list
appears as shown below. Select the last option, Step by Step Mail Merge
Wizard.

Microsoft word

This brings up the task pane as shown below. Select Letters (or whatever type
you want) as the type of document and then click on the Next: Starting
document link at the bottom of the task pane to go to the next step to select
your starting document.

Selecting a Template
You have options to use the current document you have open, to select a
template, or to browse to an existing document not open. For this practice,
select Start from a template. This brings up a link you click on to Select
template.

This opens the Select Template dialog box shown. Select the Letters tab
and choose Oriel Merge Letter. Click on OK.

Microsoft word

This takes you to Step 3 in the Mail Merge process in which you Select
recipients.

Selecting Recipients
Select Use an existing list and click on the Browse link. Locate and open the
file containing your data source. For this exercise, use the MailMergeList.xls.

This opens the following dialog box in which you select the table (the named
range defined within Excel) containing the mail merge recipients info you want
to pull into the merge fields in your document. Select seminar or training or

Microsoft word

whatever you named the range in your spreadsheet containing the names and
addresses you want to use for the mail merge ("attendees" is the defined range
selected as shown below).

Make sure to check the box indicating that the First row of data contains
column headers so that the field labels (Last Name, First Name, Address1, etc.)
on your spreadsheet wont be mistaken for data.
This opens the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box shown below. Here you can
select which recipients to include or deselect by unchecking the check box by
the name.

You can sort and filter the list using the drop-down list located on each field
name indicated by the triangular black arrow. Note there are also links to Sort
and Filter or Find Duplicates and recipients in the Refine recipient list section.

Microsoft word

Click on the link Next: Write your letter to go on to the next step to edit the
mail merge template letter content.

Inserting Merge Fields


Notice that the Address Block and Greeting Line fields are already inserted into
this template letter. If you werent using a preformatted mail merge letter, you
would just simply click on the links on the right to insert the Address block,
Greeting line, or more items (more merge fields). You also have these same
options on the Mailings toolbar at the topyou dont have to use the wizard
each time you do a mail merge. Pick the date and replace the letter content
with your own and then go on to the next step to preview your letters by
clicking on the link at the bottom of the task pane.

Microsoft word

Matching Fields
When you click on the Address block link, the following dialog box appears in
which you can choose the format of the address. Also, you can click on the
Match Fields button to match the missing address field (the Match Fields
button is also on the Mailings tab in the "Write and Insert Fields" grouping).

Clicking on the Match Fields button brings up the following dialog box. Use
the Address 1 drop-down list to select the Street field name from the Excel
spreadsheet.

Previewing Results
You have buttons on both the Preview Results group on the Mailings ribbon as
well as the task pane to look at different recipient info before going on to the
next step to complete the merge.

Microsoft word

Completing the Merge


When you click on the link, Next: Complete the merge, the following appears:

Click on the link Edit individual letters which you can see from the screen tip is
the link to Merge to new document. This is also a button on the "Finish &
Merge" dropdown list on the Mailings Ribbon.

The Print link on the Task Pane or Print Documents on the Ribbon dropdown list
allows you to merge directly to the printer. When you click on the link to edit the
letters, the following dialog box appears:

Microsoft word

You can choose whether to merge all or selected records. Click OK and then a
new merged document entitled Letters1 is created. It contains the individual
letters for each recipient. If you look at the status bar, you will see that it
indicates multiple letters.

Saving
Save your work by clicking on the new Office button which replaces the file
menu.

Select "Save As" to view the new options for saving in different formats.

Microsoft word

The new "default" file format is .docx, a new file format for Word documents. It
is one of the new Office XML formats. You also have the option to save in the
Word 97-2003 format so that your file is compatible with those versions and can
be opened in them.
