Wednesday June 6

Today's Class Topics:
  • Mail merge (letter)
  • Mailing Labels
New Keyboard Shortcuts:
  • ALT F4 means to exit MS Word
  • Shift File menu means SAVE changes to SAVE ALL
New Things I Learned Today:
  1. To use Excel instead of Word when entering a data source that way is a lot easier.
  2. Always start Field Name in Row one in Excel the you can type in the data how it needs too be. NEVER skip a row in Excel.
  3. Most common letter and size in Mail Merge is Avery and 5260.
  4. Make sure when you are doing Mail Labels you fix 10 pt gap or it could shave off your data and it will make your Labels look very nasty.
New MS Ribbon Item: Go to Layout when you have a table or Labels and you can turn on and off your grid lines depends on if you prefer them or not.
