The most important step in the mail merge process is to set up and prepare your data. You'll use
your Excel spreadsheet as the data source for the recipient list.
Here are some tips to prepare your data for a mail merge. Make sure:
Column names in your spreadsheet match the field names you want to insert in your mail
merge. For example, to address readers by their first name in your document, you'll need
separate columns for first and last names.
All data to be merged is present in the first sheet of your spreadsheet.
Data entries with percentages, currencies, and postal codes are correctly formatted in the
spreadsheet so that Word can properly read their values.
The Excel spreadsheet to be used in the mail merge is stored on your local machine.
2. In the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, clear the check box next to the name of any
person who you don't want to receive your mailing.
Step 3: Insert a merge field
You can insert one or more mail merge fields that pull the information from your spreadsheet
into your document.
1. On the Mailings tab, in the Write & Insert Fields group, choose Address Block.
2. In the Insert Address Block dialog box, choose a format for the recipient's name as it
will appear on the envelope.
3. Choose OK.
4. Choose File > Save.
1. On the Mailings tab, in the Write & Insert Fields group, choose Greeting Line.
2. In the Insert Greeting Line dialog box, do the following:
o Under Greeting line format, change the salutation if necessary by choosing the
greeting (Dear is the default), the format for the recipient name, and the ending
punctuation (a comma is the default).
and
o Under Greeting line for invalid recipient names, choose an option in the
salutation list.
3. Choose OK.
4. Choose File > Save.
1. On the Mailings tab, in the Write & Insert Fields group, choose Insert Merge Field.
2. In the Insert Merge Field dialog box, under Fields, choose a field name (column name
in your spreadsheet), and then choose Insert.
3. Repeat step 2 as needed, and choose Close when done.
4. Choose File > Save.
For more information about adding fields from your spreadsheet to the merge document,
see Insert mail merge fields. And if you're interested in learning more about options for setting
up email message, see Email merge in Word.
After you insert the merge fields you want, preview the results to confirm that the content is
okay. and then you're ready to complete the merge process.
When you save the mail merge document, it stays connected to your data source. You can reuse
the mail merge document for your next bulk mailing.
Open the mail merge document and choose Yes when Word prompts you to keep the
connection.

Experiment 4: Create what-if-analysis using scenerios
What-If Analysis in Excel allows you to try out different values (scenarios) for formulas. The
following example helps you master what-if analysis quickly and easily.
Assume you own a book store and have 100 books in storage. You sell a certain % for the
highest price of $50 and a certain % for the lower price of $20.
But what if you sell 70% for the highest price? And what if you sell 80% for the highest price?
Or 90%, or even 100%? Each different percentage is a different scenario. You can use the
Scenario Manager to create these scenarios.
Note: You can simply type in a different percentage into cell C4 to see the corresponding result
of a scenario in cell D10. However, what-if analysis enables you to easily compare the results of
different scenarios. Read on.

Experiment 9: how to change the orientation of a single page in word
2. Click Left Tab at the left end of the horizontal ruler until it changes to display the
type of tab you want.
A Left Tab stop sets the left end of the text line. As you type, the text fills toward the right.
A Center Tab stop sets the position at the middle of the text line. As you type, the text
centers on this position.
A Right Tab stop sets the right end of the text line. As you type, the text fills toward the left.
A Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Without regard to the number of
digits, the decimal point remains in the same position. (When you use this type of tab stop, you
must align the numbers around a decimal character. You cannot use any other type of
character — such as a comma, a hyphen, or an ampersand symbol.)
A Bar Tab places a solid vertical line through selected text. Unlike other tabs, the bar tab is
added to the text as soon as you click the ruler. If you don't clear the bar tab stop before you print
your document, the vertical line is printed.
