You will learn to start Word, type text in a document, save a document, print a document, close a document, and exit Word.

•    Paragraph formatting is applied to one paragraph or to several paragraphs. Paragraph formatting includes alignment, tabs, indents, line spacing, paragraph spacing, bullets, numbering, borders, shading, and other paragraph settings.

But they can be OVER Written by…

For example, the data source could contain the names and addresses of each person who will receive a form letter.

The Mailing ribbon simplifies the mail merge process by walking you through the steps involved in creating and connecting a data source to a main document. The Mail Merge process can be used to create form letters, mailing labels, envelopes, directories, mass e-mail and fax distributions, and other merged documents.
