Learn about Word's Mail Merge Feature
Have you ever been baffled by Word's Mail Merge feature? Did you know
that you can create sophisticated data source documents and use Mail Merge
to extract the data? You can also use Mail Merge to create envelopes or
labels from your Access data – it's much easier than creating a new
Access output report. Learn how to enter new data using the Data Entry
Form, or update the data source table directly. All this and more will
be addressed in the Mail Merge class scheduled for Tuesday, January 21,
from 8:30 to 11 AM. To enroll, go to http://www.scripps.edu/rc/training/dapps_signup.html.
