Brought to you by 599cd.com. I am your instructor, Richard Rost.Today's class deals with the subject of Mail Merge. We are going to show you how to do mass mailings, form letters, mailing labels, mass emails, and more, using a powerful feature of Word called Mail Merge. This class follows Microsoft Word 103 in our Microsoft Word series. We strongly recommend that you take Word 101, 102, and 103 before taking this class. We also recommend our Windows 101 and either our Windows 102 or 110 classes. As part of our optional topics for today's course, we are going to cover some Microsoft Excel, Access, and Outlook features. It will be very helpful, but not necessary, to take our Access 101, Excel 101, and Outlook 101 courses before taking this course. Again, these are not mandatory, but if you have a little bit of knowledge of Excel, for example, it will help you when you get to the Excel section of doing mail merges with Excel data. In this class, we will be using Microsoft Word XP 2002 and Windows XP. You should be able to follow along with the examples, regardless of what version of Word you have. We will also show you in a separate lesson today how to use Word 2000 to do a mail merge, and we will show you the differences between 2000 and XP. We strongly recommend that you watch each lesson completely through once, and then watch again following along with the examples. QuizQ1.

SummaryToday's video from the Microsoft Word Learning Zone focuses on an essential feature for anyone who needs to send out mass communications: Mail Merge. In this lesson, I will demonstrate how to use Mail Merge in Word to create form letters, generate mailing labels, send out mass emails, and more, all by harnessing Word's powerful Mail Merge tools.Before starting with this lesson, it's a good idea to have completed the introductory courses in the Microsoft Word series, specifically Word 101, 102, and 103. Additionally, if you are new to Windows, I recommend Windows 101 and either Windows 102 or 110, as these will help you navigate the system more effectively. We'll also touch on some optional topics that involve other Microsoft Office applications such as Excel, Access, and Outlook. While it is not strictly necessary, having some previous experience with Access 101, Excel 101, and Outlook 101 can be very helpful. For example, when we discuss pulling mailing lists from Excel or managing contacts with Outlook, a basic familiarity with these programs will enhance your understanding. For this course, I am using Microsoft Word XP 2002 and Windows XP. However, the techniques and concepts covered here apply to just about any version of Word you might be using. I will also include a segment specifically dedicated to performing a mail merge in Word 2000 and highlight the differences you can expect between Word 2000 and newer versions such as Word XP. To get the most from this lesson, I suggest first watching each segment through from start to finish. Then, go back and watch again while following along on your own computer. This approach reinforces what you are learning and helps solidify your understanding of the Mail Merge process.
