Word is great too. you can do some spreadsheets in words as well and the mail merge function is really helpful if you need to do mass mailings for your company and want each one to be individualized.

I found using Excel for the mail merge is pretty easy...easier than doing the mail merge in word in some cases. I've been told this by some who use mail merge all the time.

Which version of office is it? I never learned how to do mail merge prior to office 2007. One thing I have seen with 2007, is that all of the office programs seem to work together seamlessly.

For example, when you decide to do a mail merge, simply start the wizard and then it helps you make the Excel file for the data to be merged intot he letters or you can import an excel file straight up. Then you just type your letter and put the labels in for the info to be merged into the letter.

Its' funny that I go through all the BS to learn these office programs and I pretty much never get to use it.

Learn computers without using a computer?

Wow is that like "the art of fighting without fighting" where they throw you onto a dinghy and tow you to Mr. Han's island? LOL.

I say bust out the "Video Professor" stuff if it's that bad.

Much older version at home and at work, but the process sounds pretty much the same.

Hey, when you're the Chief of the PD, you might need some of those programs.
