helpful tools to make documents.

7. What is Mail Merge?
It allows the user to create documents and combine
or merge them with another document or data file.

out advertising materials to various recipients.***

8. Components of Mail Merging
1. Form Document
2. List or Data File

9. Form Document
Is the document that contains the main body of the
message we want to convey or send.
The main body of the message is the part of the
form document that remains the same no matter
whom you send it to from among your list

10. List or Data File
Is where the individual information or data that
needs to be plugged in to the form document is
placed and maintained.
***Note: The mail merge feature allows data from a
file created from within the Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel application itself and fields that
needed to be filled up on the form document can
easily be maintained without accidentally altering
the form or main document.***

11. Label Generation
Label Generation will print individual addresses to a
standard form that it has already pre-formatted.
Simply put, it creates a blank form document that
stimulates either a blank label or envelope of pre-
defined size and will use the data file that you
selected to print the information, typically
individual addresses.

Office is capable of integrating to your files to make
them richer, more impressive and more informative.

image file capable of displaying transparencies
(simple animation/loops/vines).
