ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE DOCUMENTS AND COMBINE OR MERGE THEM WITH
ANOTHER DOCUMENTS OR DATA FILE.
mail merge
IT IS COMMONLY USED WHEN SENDING OUT ADVERTISING MATERIALS TO
VARIOUS RECIPIENTS
TWO COMPONENTS OF MAIL MERGE
form document
list or data file
Form Document
It is generally the document that contains the main body of the message we want to convey or send. The main body of the message is the part of the form document that remains the same no matter whom you send it to from among your list.
Form Document
it Also included in the form document is what we call placeholders, also referred to as data fields or merge fields. This marks the position on your form document where individual data or information will be inserted.
In its simplest form, a form document is literally a "form" that you fill out with individual information.
List or Data File
A component of mail merge where the individual data that needs to be plugged in (merged) to the form document is placed and maintained.
List or Data File
You can also easily add, remove, modify, or extract your data more efficiently by using other data management applications like Excel or Access and import them in Word during the mail merge process.
Label Generation
It just makes sense that after you print out your form letters, you will need to send it to individual recipients in an envelope with the matching address printed directly on the envelope or on a mailing label to stick on.
Label Generation
It creates a blank form document that simulates either a blank label or envelope of pre-defined size and will use the data file that you selected to print the information, typically individual addresses.

JPG/JPEG
-This type of image file can support 16.7 million colors, which makes it suitable for use when working with full-color photographic images.
JPG/JPEG
This is pronounced as 'jay-peg' and is the short form of .jpeg or JointPhotographicExpertsGroup.
JPG does not work well with lettering, line drawings, or simple graphics.
JPG images are relatively small in file size."
GIF
This stands for Graphics Interchange Format.
This type of image file is capable of displaying transparencies.
is much better for logos, drawings, small text, black and white images, or low-resolution files."
PNG
This is pronounced as 'ping'. It stands for Portable Network Graphics.It was built around the capabilities of .GIF. Its development was basically for the purpose of transporting images on the Internet at faster rates..PNG allows the control of the transparency level or opacity of images."
Clipart
This is generally a .GIF type; line art drawings or images used as a generic representation for ideas and objects that you might want to integrate into your document."
Shapes
These are printable objects or materials that you can integrate into your document to enhance its appearance or allow you to have some tools to use for composing and representing ideas or messages."
Smart Art
Generally, these are predefined sets of different shapes grouped together to form ideas that are organizational or structural in nature.
Charts
Another type of material that you can integrate in your Word document that allows you to represent data characteristics and trends. This is quite useful when you are preparing reports that correlate and present data in a graphical manner."
Screenshot
Sometimes, creating reports or manuals for training or procedures will require the integration of a more realistic image of what you are discussing on your report or manual. Nothing can get you a more realistic image than a screenshot."
image placement
in line with text
square
tight
through
behind text
in front of text
In Line With Text
The default setting for images that are inserted or integrated in your document. It treats your image like text font with the bottom side totally aligned with the text line.
Square
This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere within the paragraph with the text going around the image in a square pattern like a frame.
Tight
Similar to square, but here the text "hugs" the general shape of the image. This allows you to get a more creative effect on your document.
this setting can mostly be achieved if you are using an image that supports transparency like a .GIF or .PNG FILE
Through
This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter, taking the contours and the shape of the image.
Top and Bottom
This setting pushes the text away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of the image.
Behind Text
This allows your image to be dragged anywhere in your document but with all the texts floating in front of it. it effectively makes your image look like a background
