Mail Merge is a useful tool that allows you to produce multiple letters, labels,
envelops, name tags, and more using information stored on a list, database, or
spreadsheet. When performing a Mail Merge, you will need a word document
(you can start with an existing one or create a new one) and a recipient list, which
is typically an Excel workbook.
This productivity tool id commonly used to generate bulk mail that the user
sends to a large contacts list with ease. Image if you have 100 people whom you
need to send the same message to. Instead of changing the recipient’s name and
address mail after mail, you can just let mail merge do its job and generate the
appropriate headers for each recipient in a few seconds.
Step 1:
Choose the type of document you want to create. In our example, we'll select
Letters. Then click Next: Starting document to move to Step 2.
Step 2:
Select Use the current document, then click Next: Select recipients to move to Step
3.
Step 3:
Now you'll need an address list so Word can automatically place each address
into the document. The list can be in an existing file, such as an Excel
workbook, or you can type a new address list from within the Mail Merge
Wizard.
1) From the Mail Merge task pane, select Use an existing list, then click
Browse... to select the file.
4) In the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, you can check or uncheck each
box to control which recipients are included in the merge. By default, all
recipients should be selected. When you're done, click OK.
5) From the Mail Merge task pane, click Next: Write your letter to move to
Step 4.
1) If you don't have an existing address list, you can click the Type a new list
button and click Create. You can then type your address list.
Step 4:
Now you're ready to write your letter. When it's printed, each copy of the letter will
basically be the same; only the recipient data (such as the name and address)
will be different. You'll need to add placeholders for the recipient data so Mail
Merge knows exactly where to add the data.
5) Repeat these steps each time you need to enter information from your
data record. In our example, we'll add a Greeting line.
6) When you're done, click Next: Preview your letters to move to Step 5.
2) For some letters, you'll only need to add an Address block and Greeting
line. Sometimes, however, you may want to place recipient data within the
body of the letter to personalize it even further.
Step 5:
1) Preview the letters to make sure the information from the recipient list
appears correctly in the letter. You can use the left and right scroll arrows
to view each document.
3) The Print dialog box will appear. Adjust the print settings if needed, then
click OK. The letters will be printed.

Select the Insert tab, then click the Pictures command in the Images group.
A dialog box will appear. Locate and select the desired image file, then click
Insert.
The picture will appear on the currently selected slide.
5) Bing Image Search: You can use this option to search the Internet for
images. By default, Bing only shows images that are licensed under
Creative Commons, which means you can use them for your own projects.
However, you should go to the image's website to see if there are any
restrictions on how it can be used.
Previously, you also had the option to insert clip art images from Office.com, but this
service has been discontinued. Instead, you can use Bing Image Search to find
images for your presentation.
1) Select the Insert tab, then click the Online Pictures command.
2) The Insert Pictures dialog box will appear.
3) Choose Bing Image Search or your OneDrive. In our example, we'll use
Bing Image Search.
4) Press the Enter key. Your search results will appear in the dialog box.
5) Select the desired image, then click Insert.
When adding images, videos, and music to your own projects, it's important to
make sure you have the legal right to use them. Most things you buy or
download online are protected by copyright, which means you may not be
allowed to use them. For more information, visit our Copyright and Fair Use
lesson.

Animated presentations will always be more engaging than one that is flat and text
heavy. This is the reason why innovation in presentation software’s have been
developed and redeveloped over the years.
Since the launch of Microsoft’s PowerPoint in the 90s, it has been the leading slide-
based presentation software used by many.
To this day, the popularity of this software has been constantly growing – even
penetrating the mobile applications market for both android – based and iOS –
based operating systems. You may already know that PowerPoint is a presentation
program that allows you to create slide presentations. A PowerPoint presentation
can be created using your personal computer, tablet, or smartphones. Some of
PowerPoint’s unique features are the integration of images, videos, voice-over,
narration, charts, and more. Also, themes can be added to create the design that you
want for you presentation.
In PowerPoint, you can animate texts and objects such as images, clip arts, and
shapes. Animation or simply the movement on the slide is used to attract and
stimulates the audience’s attention to a specific content.
There are several animations affects you can choose from, and they are organized
into four types.
Entrance: These controls how the object enters the slide. For example, with
the Bounce animation the object will "fall" onto the slide and then bounce
several times.
Emphasis: These animations occur while the object is on the
slide, often triggered by a mouse click. For example, you can set
an object to spin when you click the mouse.
Exit: These controls how the object exits the slide. For example, with the
Fade animation the object will simply fade away.
Motion Paths: These are similar to Emphasis effects, except the object
moves within the slide along a predetermined path, like a circle.
To apply an animation to an object:
3. A drop-down menu of animation effects will appear. Select the desired effect
4. The effect will apply to the object. The object will have a small number next to
it to show that it has an animation. In the Slide pane, a star symbol also will
appear next to the slide.
At the bottom of the menu, you can access even more effects.
Effect options
Some effects will have options you can change. For example, with the Fly In effect
you can control which direction the object comes from. These options can be
accessed from the Effect Options command in the Animation group.
To remove an animation:
Animations are best used in moderation. Adding too many animations can
make your presentation look a little silly and can even be distracting to your
audience. Consider using mostly subtle animations, or not using animations at
all.
If you select a new animation from the menu in the Animation group, it will replace
the object's current animation. However, you'll sometimes want to place more than
one animation on an object, like an Entrance and an Exit effect. To do this, you'll
need to use the Add Animation command, which will allow you to keep your current
animations while adding new ones.
1. Select an object.
2. Click the Animations tab.
3. In the Advanced Animation group, click the Add Animation command to view
the available animations.
4. Select the desired animation effect.
5. If the object has more than one effect, it will have a different number for each
effect. The numbers indicate the order in which the effects will occur.
2. From the Animations tab, click the Move Earlier or Move Later commands to
change the ordering.
In some cases, you may want to apply the same effects to more than one object.
You can do this by copying the effects from one object to another using the
Animation Painter. In our example, we want to copy an animation from one slide to
another because they have similar layouts.
1. Click the object that has the affects you want to copy. In our example, we'll
click our answer text.
2. From the Animations tab, click the Animation Painter command.
3. Click the object you want to copy the effects to. In our example, we'll click the
answer text on the next slide. Both objects now have the same effect.
To preview animations:
Any animation affects you have applied will show up when you play the slide show.
However, you can also quickly preview the animations for the current slide without
viewing the slide show.
The Animation Pane allows you to view and manage all of the effects that are on the
current slide. You can modify and reorder effects directly from the Animation Pane,
which is especially useful when you have several effects.
If you have several animated objects, it may help to rename the objects
before reordering them in the Animation Pane. You can rename them in the
Selection Pane. To open the Selection Pane, click an object, then from the
Format tab click Selection Pane. Double-click the name of an object to
rename it.
2. The effects for the current slide will play. On the right side of the Animation
Pane, you will be able to see a timeline that shows the progress through each
effect.
If the timeline is not visible, click the drop-down arrow for an effect, then select
Show Advanced Timeline.
By default, an effect starts playing when you click the mouse during a slide show. If
you have multiple effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect
individually. However, by changing the start option for each effect, you can have
effects that automatically play at the same time or one after the other.
1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear
next to the effect.
2. Click the drop-down arrow and select one of the three desired start options.
Start on Click will start the effect when the mouse is clicked, Start with
Previous will start the effect at the same time as the previous effect, and Start
After Previous will start the effect when the previous effect ends.
When you preview the animations, all of the effects will play through
automatically. To test effects that are set to Start on Click, you will need to
play the slide show.
From the Animation Pane, you can access the Effect Options dialog box, which
contains more advanced options you can use to fine tune your animations.
To open the Effect Options dialog box:
1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear
next to the effect.
2. Click the drop-down arrow, then select Effect Options.
3. The Effect Options dialog box will appear. Click the drop-down menus and
select the desired enhancement. You can add a sound to the animation, add
an effect after the animation is over, or animate text in a different sequence.
Some effects have additional options you can change. These will vary
depending on which effect you have selected.
1. From the Effect Options dialog box, select the Timing tab.
2. From here, you can add a delay before the effect starts, change the duration
of the effect, and control whether the effect repeats.
A. True of False. Write before each number if the statement is correct and
