4. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall4 A form letter is a letter with standardized wording that can be sent to many different people. Form letters are created by combining information from two documents—a main document and a data source. Create a Form Letter

5. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall5 The main document contains the constant information—text (also known as boilerplate text) and graphics that are the same for each version of the letter. The data source contains the variable information—information to be merged such as a list of names and addresses. Create a Form Letter

10. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall10 A merge field is a placeholder that you insert in the main document. Examples of placeholders are: –address block –salutation Merge Letters with Records from the Data Source

11. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall11 After the merge fields are added to the form letter, one letter for each person in the data source is created. You can: –preview the letters one at a time –print the letters directly from the Mail Merge document –merge all of the letters into one Word document that you can edit Merge Letters with Records from the Data Source

14. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall14 A document outline is used to organize the contents of a document in a structured manner. Word has a built-in outline feature that you use to apply an outline format to a document. Work with a Document Outline

15. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall15 In Outline view, each paragraph is treated as a separate topic or level in the outline. Each topic is either assigned a Heading level, or is identified as body text. Work with a Document Outline

16. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall16 Change outline heading levels by using the Outline Level button, or by clicking the Promote or Demote buttons. –Promoting a heading level moves it up one level (to the left in the outline). –Demoting a heading level moves it down one level (to the right in the outline).

19. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall19 Work with a Document Outline In order to facilitate finding information in some documents, outline headings are formatted as a numbered list. You CANNOT apply the numbering style to all of the headings at one time, even if you collapse the outline and display only the Level 1 headings.

24. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall24 The Reviewing Pane displays: –all of the changes that currently appear in your document –a summary of the total number of changes –a list of how many changes of each type have been made –the name of the person who made each change Track Changes in a Document

25. with Microsoft Office 2007 Intermediate© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall25 There are two options for viewing changes and comments: –Reviewing Pane, which displays changes and comments in the Markup Area. –Balloon view, which displays the changes and comments in the document.
