Using “Track Changes”
• This week I decided to refine my Microsoft Word skills, beginning with the “track changes” function.
• I found the “track changes” button underneath the “Review” header in Microsoft Word.
Using “Track Changes”
• I then changed my “Track Changes Options” regarding insertions: anything newly inserted into my document will be in bold and red.
Using “Track Changes”
• On the right is an example of how “Track Changes” looks when I used it for my skills update.
• Notice the newly-inserted bold, red font.
Using Mail Merge• I then worked on
learning the “Mail Merge” function in Microsoft Word.
• This function is really nice because it allows the user to create a single document that can be sent to multiple addresses, while the information in the document can be variably changed.
Using Mail Merge
• I used Mail Merge to draft a Forensics letter to be emailed to multiple coaches of other extracurricular activities at my high school.
• I first had to insert contacts into my Mail Merge contacts list, but after that was complete, the Mail Merge function worked nicely.
• Everyone received their email and was appreciative of the sentiment.
