Format a Multiple-Column Newsletter
Newsletters are usually two or three columns wide. Using four or more columns in 8.5 x 11-inch paper looks awkward because they are so narrow.

To change one column of text to two columns Select all of the text starting from where you want the columns created to the end of the document On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Columns button From the Columns gallery, click Two

Section break—divides the one-column section of the document from the two- column section of the document Usually below the nameplate (title) Section—portion of a document that can be formatted differently from the rest of the document A section break marks the end of one section and the beginning of another section.

Screenshot—image of an active window that can be pasted into a document Especially useful for inserting an image of a Web site into a document you are creating in Word

Figure 3.28

Use Special Character and Paragraph Formatting
Special text and paragraph formatting can emphasize text to make your newsletter look more professional. When adding shading, use light colors; dark shading can make the text difficult to read. Paragraph borders provide strong visual cues to the reader.

For headlines and titles, small caps is an attractive font effect. The effect changes lowercase letters to uppercase letters, but with the height of lowercase letters. Figure 3.29 <#>

Manual line break—hold down the Shift key while pressing the Enter key Moves text to the right of the insertion point to a new line Keeps text in the same paragraph <#>

A line break indicator, a bent arrow, indicates that a manual line break was inserted. Figure 3.30 <#>

Paragraph borders provide strong visual cues to the reader. Paragraph shading: Can be used with or without borders Draws reader’s eye to text

Create Mailing Labels Using Mail Merge
Mail merge joins a main document and a data source creating customized letters or labels. Main document Contains text or formatting that remains constant—for labels, includes formatting for a specific label size Data source Contains names and addresses of the individuals for whom the labels are being created Can be a Word table, Excel spreadsheet, or Access database

New records can be added to the data source for your mail merge. Figure 3.33
