Mail merge labeled generation

Mail merge is a process to create

personalized letters and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing
labels for mass mailings from a form letter.[1] The feature is
usually employed on a word processing document which contains
fixed text (which is the same in each output document) and
variables (which act as placeholders that are replaced by text
from the data source). The feature dates back to early word
processors on personal computers, circa 1980. WordStar was
perhaps the earliest to provide this, originally via an ancillary
program called MailMerge. WordPerfect also offered this capacity
for CP/M and MS-DOS systems, and Microsoft Word added it
later on.[2]
The data source is typically a spreadsheet or a database which
has a field or column for each variable in the template. When the
mail merge process is run, the word processing system creates
an output document for each row in the database, using the fixed
text exactly as it appears in the template, but substituting the data
variables in the template with the values from the matching
columns.

Custom animation and timing

Custom Animation is a set of effects which can be applied to

objects in PowerPoint so that they will animate in the Slide Show
Power Point. They can be added under the Custom Animation
function or through the use of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
PowerPoint 2000 and earlier versions introduced basic effects
such as Appear, Dissolve, Fly In and so forth. In PowerPoint
2002/XP and later versions, the Custom Animation feature was
improved, adding new animation effects grouped into four
categories: Entrance, Emphasis, Exit, and Motion Paths.
Microsoft Is Created Maaz Ahmed Ali[1] The effects were later
modified in PowerPoint 2010.
Transitions are effects similar to Custom Animation, but are
different in that they can only be applied singularly to individual
slides as they change from one slide to another and are limited in
options. More slide transitions were added to the selection in
PowerPoint 2010.
Entrance effects can be set to objects so that they enter with
animations during Slide Show. Emphasis effects animate the
objects on the spot. Exit effects allow objects to leave the Slide
Show with animations. Motion Paths allow objects to move
around the Slide Show. Each effect contains variables such as
start (On click, With previous, After previous), delay, speed,
repeat and trigger. This makes animations more flexible and
interactive, similar to Adobe Flash.PowerPoint can also function
as a movie maker program.[3] The animator using PowerPoint
works similarly to an animator using cels, using a succession of
slides to create the illusion of movement. Many tools within the
PowerPoint program can be easily used for maximum effect.
Drawing tools such as AutoShapes, contains lines, connectors,
basic shapes, block arrows, flowchart components, 'freeforms'
(AutoShapes drawn by the mouse on pen tool) and banners,
callouts and action buttons, help draw out a slide. Custom
Animations and sound tools can also be used to help add
excitement to the project and create interest in what might have
been an otherwise dull presentation. The process of drawing out
multiple slides takes time, but, again, it is considered to be less
expensive and easier to use than buying and using professional
graphics animation software.
Another way to produce these animations is by animating a
cartoon as a single slide acting as a frame of film. This allows the
slide show to run like an animated film. This is time consuming,
but the artist has much more control and can do much more
detailed and precise animation. It also allows control over the
timing of the animation. This also make editing of the animation
easier afterward. On average, month's work of such animation
usually ends up at about a minute in length. A three-minute
animation can take around three to four months to complete
depending on the amount of detail, these lengthy cartoons usually
run around 1,800 slides.
Using Custom Animation, cartoons or movies similar to those
created in Adobe Flash can be done with PowerPoint. With
minimum time, an animator can produce a simple show similar to
a stick figure movie, where the body movements are animated
using Motion Paths and Emphasis effects. An example released
under PowerPoint Heaven,[4] has a section called the Shadow
Fighter series which demonstrates PowerPoint movies

Hyper linking and presentations

There are two kinds of custom shows: basic and hyperlinked. A
basic custom show is a separate presentation or a presentation
that includes some of the slides of the original. A hyperlinked
custom show is a quick way to navigate to one or more separate
presentations.

Basic custom shows

Use a basic custom show to give separate presentations to

different groups in your organization. For example, if your
presentation contains a total of five slides, you can create a
custom show named "Site 1" that includes just slides 1, 3, and 5.
You can create a second custom show named "Site 2" that
includes slides 1, 2, 4, and 5. When you create a custom show
from a presentation, you can always run the entire presentation in
its original sequential order.
 Integrating images and external material in word
processor .

A word processor is an electronic device or

computer software application, that performs the task of
composing, editing, formatting, and printing of documents.
The word processor was a stand-alone office machine in the
1960s, combining the keyboard text-entry and printing functions of
an electric typewriter, with a recording unit, either tape or floppy
disk (as used by the Wang machine) with a simple dedicated
computer processor for the editing of text.[1] Although features and
designs varied among manufacturers and models, and new
features were added as technology advanced, word processors
typically featured a monochrome display and the ability to save
documents on memory cards or diskettes. Later models
introduced innovations such as spell-checking programs, and
improved formatting options.
As the more versatile combination of personal
computers and printers became commonplace, and computer
software applications for word processing became popular, most
business machine companies stopped manufacturing dedicated
word processor machines. As of 2009 there were only two U.S.
companies, Classic and AlphaSmart, which still made them.[2][needs
update]
Many older machines, however, remain in use. Since 2009,
Sentinel has offered a machine described as a "word processor",
but it is more accurately a highly specialised microcomputer used
for accounting and publishing.[3]
Word processing was one of the earliest applications for
the personal computer in office productivity, and was the most
widely used application on personal computers until the World
Wide Web rose to prominence in the mid-1990s.
Although the early word processors evolved to use tag-
based markup for document formatting, most modern word
processors take advantage of a graphical user interface providing
some form of what-you-see-is-what-you-get ("WYSIWYG")
editing. Most are powerful systems consisting of one or more
programs that can produce a combination
of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-
setting capability. Typical features of a modern word processor
include: multiple font sets, spell checking, grammar checking, a
built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration,
HTML conversion, pre-formatted publication projects such as
newsletters and to-do lists, and much more. In its simplest form, a
word processor is like an Expensive
Typewriter or Typewriter machine, with the improvement of being
able to proofread, and correct mistakes before printing.

The most important new feature of the recently released PDF/A-3 standard is
that, unlike PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-1, it allows you to embed any file you like.
Whether this is a good thing or not is the subject of some heated on-line
discussions. But what do we actually mean by embedded files? As it turns out, the
answer to this question isn’t as straightforward as you might think. One of the
reasons for this is that in colloquial use we often talk about “embedded files” to
describe the inclusion of any “non-text” element in a PDF (e.g. an image, a video
or a file attachment). On the other hand, the word “embedded files” in
the PDF standards (including PDF/A) refers to something much more specific,
which is closely tied to PDF‘s internal structure.
Embedded files and embedded file streams

When the PDF standard mentions “embedded files”, what it really refers to is a
specific data structure. PDF has a File Specification Dictionary object, which in its
simplest form is a table that contains a reference to some external file. PDF
1.3 extended this, making it possible to embed the contents of referenced files
directly within the body of the PDF using Embedded File Streams. They are
described in detail in Section 7.11.4 of the PDF Specification (ISO 32000). A File
Specification Dictionary that refers to an embedded file can be identified by the
presence of an EF entry.

Advance and complex formulas and computations
