Multiple times a week I use Microsoft Word for my basic needs. I was very excited to do some reviewing of functions that I had either forgotten about or had never used before.

The one thing I was hoping to get out of this Microsoft Word unit was a review about Mail Merging. I have had a need in the past to use this function, but for the life of me could not remember how to set it up. Whenever I have needed to send out letters on a tight deadline I just manually entered names and address instead of using Mail Merge. After taking this class I am now confident that I can use the Mail Merge function in the future.

I also found the Chapter 3 assignment very helpful. It had to do with importing sources and then inserting a bibliography into the Word Document. Also, I had never before used Microsoft Word to build a Table of Contents or an Index. I had no idea that Microsoft Word could be used in this fashion.

I have included two files above. They are the Chapter 4 assignment about mail merging.

The review and assignments about conditional formatting is what helped me most in this Unit. I have used them in the past but wasn't aware of the full functionality of what can be done with them.

The file being included above was an assignment done for Chapter 3. It involved inserting a sparkline chart graph (which I have never used before) into the cells of the table, and the insertion of graphs based on the data being presented in the table.
