MAIL MERGE
In word processing, mail merge is the process of transferring selected information from
one document to another document. It is a method of taking data from a database,
spreadsheet, or other form of structured data, and inserting it into documents such as
letters, mailing labels, and name tags. It usually requires two files, one storing the
variable data to be inserted, and the other containing the information that will be the same
for each result of the mail merge.
Mail Merge is the facility which contains the following three information:
Data for all the individuals, for whom the letters are to be generated also called
data source.
Mail Merge option of word reads this data and physically merges it with main document
to generate letters for all the persons or for all records in the data file.
In mail merge, main document is the common letter, which contains the common
information for each of the merged document. It also contains the field names, which
contain the instructions for carrying out the merge.
Data source is also called the data file. It stores information to be brought into the main
document. The data file table contains a column for each category of information, or data
field, in the data file. The Header Row is the first row of the table. It contains field
names, which indicate the type of information in each column. For example list of names
and addresses. Each field name must be unique and must begin with an alphabet/letter.
Form letter is the resultant document of the mail merge operations, which contains the
copy of the main document along with each piece of information stored in the data file.

INTRODUCTION TO MS EXCEL
INTRODUCTION:
WHAT IS MS EXCEL?
Excel is an electronic spreadsheet program that can be used for storing, organizing and
manipulating data.
When you look at the Excel screen you see a rectangular table or grid of rows and
columns. The horizontal rows are identified by numbers (1, 2, and 3) and the vertical
columns with letters of the alphabet (A, B, C). For columns beyond 26, columns are
identified by two or more letters such as AA, AB, and AC.
The intersection point between a column and a row is a small rectangular box known as a
cell. A cell is the basic unit for storing data in the spreadsheet. Because an Excel
spreadsheet contains thousands of these cells, each is given a cell reference or address to
identify it.
Columns are the vertical markers in the worksheet and are denoted by the alphabet i.e. A,
B, C.
The rows are the horizontal markers in the worksheet and are denoted by numbers i.e. 1,
2, 3.
Cells are the single box that you get where the column and row intersect i.e. A1, B3, and
C2.
You will often need to know the cell reference. The cell reference is the cells name and
you can
Find that by looking at the toolbar. This means that the cell that is selected is named C28.
When an action takes place in the spreadsheet - such as data entry, formatting, or deleting
data - it is the active cell that is affected.
For example, data can only be entered into a worksheet one cell at a time and the active
cell is the place where that data will be located.
2. On the keyboard push Ctrl + S (press and hold the control key then push S key
while still holding down control) to save your work!
3. If this is the first time saving the current file then you will be greeted with a Save
As popup
4. At the bottom of this popup is a field labelled File name and currently contains the
text "Book1.xls". Replace this with any name you want to give your file, we have
chosen "Tisza Basics" for this example
5. Before you press Save, pay attention to where you are saving your file to. The
default location Excel saves to is the My Documents folder and we suggest you
save there if you are not very comfortable with navigating the Windows File
System.
Pushing Ctrl + S will just save your file after you have specified a filename in step 5. We
recommend that you save your file at least every 5 minutes. It only takes a second and
just thinks how happy you'll be if youre computer crashes or the power goes out and you
won't have to worry about losing information!
Remember; use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S often!
Formatting text: Spreadsheets can be pretty dry, so we need some tools to dress them
up a little. We can use most of the tricks in our word processor to do the formatting of
text. We can use: bold face, italics, underline, change the color, align (left, right, center),
font size, font, etc.
We need to select the cell (or group of cells) that we wish to change the formatting and
then go from the FORMAT menu -- down to CELLS -- click on FONT. Here is a picture
of what you will see there. Notice that you can choose to change the alignment as well as
several other options.
Formulas: Formulas are entries that have an equation that calculates the value to
display. We DO NOT type in the numbers we are looking for; we type in the equation.
This equation will be updated upon the change or entry of any data that is referenced in
the equation.
C4 (annual interest rate) was divided by 12 because there are 12 months in a year.
Dividing by 12 will give us the interest rate for the payment period - in this case a
payment period of one month.
It is also important to type in the reference to the constants instead of the constants. Had I
entered =PMT (.096/12, 60,-12000) my formula would only work for that particular set
of data. I could change the months above and the payment would not change. Remember
to enter the cell where the data is stored and NOT the data itself.
SUM: Probably the most popular function in any spreadsheet is the SUM function. The
Sum function takes all of the values in each of the specified cells and totals their values.
The syntax is:
Average: One of the first ones that we are going to discuss is the Average function. The
average function finds the average of the specified data. The syntax is as follows.
Count: The next function we will discuss is Count. This will return the number of
entries (actually counts each cell that contains number data) in the selected range of cells.
MIN: The next function we will discuss is Min (which stands for minimum). This will
return the smallest (Min) value in the selected range of cells.
Blank entries are not included in the calculations of the Min Function.
Text entries are not included in the calculations of the Min Function.
MAX: The next function we will discuss is Max (which stand for Maximum). This will
return the largest (max) value in the selected range of cells.
Blank entries are not included in the calculations of the Max Function.
Text entries are not included in the calculations of the Max Function.
Inserting a row: With the row label (number) selected you must choose the Row from
the Insert menu. Again this will insert a row before the row you have selected.
Inserting a column: If you have a spreadsheet designed and you forgot to include
some important information, you can insert a column into an existing spreadsheet. What
you must do is click on the column label (letter) and chooses in Columns from the Insert
menu. This will insert a column immediately left of the selected column.
Inserting charts: Numbers can usually be represented quicker and to a larger audience
in a picture format. Excel has a chart program built into its main program. The Chart
Wizard will step you through questions that will
(basically) draw the chart from the data that you have
selected. There are many types of charts. The two most
widely used are the bar chart and the pie chart.
The BAR Chart is usually used to display a change (growth or decline) over a time
period. You can quickly compare the numbers of two different bar charts to each other.
The PIE Chart is usually used to look at what makes up a whole something. If you had a
pie chart of where you spent your money you could look at the percentages of dollars
spent on food (or any other category).
