Mr. Smith's The Mastering Series - Mail Merge 2007 & 2010


Book Description

This is as comprehensive a guide on Mail Merge as you would find anywhere. We have used two examples to illustrate the workings of Mail Merge. The first example is one of a simple mail merge. Our second example takes the process to a much higher level showing you how to filter the Data list to be able to extract just the customers you want.The ability for example to filter something like, only "Males", between 25 and 35 years of age, "Married" and are "Roman Catholics", or something similar.In addition, we are taking it further; we address and give clear step by step instructions for all the other merging options namely, E-mail messages, Envelopes, Labels and even Directory.There is also broad coverage on "Tables". Creating a large Data Source on the fly can be a daunting task, and one which should have been avoided if only your customer information already existed in some form of table, be it in Excel, Access, and Outlook or as we have done, in Word itself.
