EXPERIMENT-1 HOW TO USE MAIL MERGE USING AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET

Step 1: Prepare data in Excel for mail merge

The most important step in the mail merge process is to set up and prepare your data. You'll use
your Excel spreadsheet as the data source for the recipient list.

Here are some tips to prepare your data for a mail merge. Make sure:

 Column names in your spreadsheet match the field names you want to insert in your mail
merge. For example, to address readers by their first name in your document, you'll need
separate columns for first and last names.
 All data to be merged is present in the first sheet of your spreadsheet.
 Data entries with percentages, currencies, and postal codes are correctly formatted in the
spreadsheet so that Word can properly read their values.
 The Excel spreadsheet to be used in the mail merge is stored on your local machine.

Step 2: Start the mail merge

1. In Word, choose File > New > Blank document.


2. On the Mailings tab, in the Start Mail merge group, choose Start Mail Merge, and then
choose the kind of merge you want to run.

into your document.

1. On the Mailings tab, in the Write & Insert Fields group, choose Address Block.

2. In the Insert Address Block dialog box, choose a format for the recipient's name as it
will appear on the envelope.

3. Choose OK.

salutation list.
3. Choose OK.
4. Choose File > Save.

To insert data from your spreadsheet in an email message or a letter

2. In the Insert Merge Field dialog box, under Fields, choose a field name (column name
in your spreadsheet), and then choose Insert.
3. Repeat step 2 as needed, and choose Close when done.
4. Choose File > Save.

For more information about adding fields from your spreadsheet to the merge document,
see Insert mail merge fields. And if you're interested in learning more about options for setting
up email message, see Email merge in Word.

Step 4: Preview and finish the mail merge

After you insert the merge fields you want, preview the results to confirm that the content is
okay. and then you're ready to complete the merge process.

1. On the Mailings tab, choose Preview Results.


2. Choose the Next or Previous record button to move through records in your data
source and view how the records will appear in the document.
3. In the Finish group, choose Finish & Merge, and choose Print Documents or Send E-
mail Messages.

changes and comments, click the arrow under Settings, next to Print All Pages (the
default), to see all your options.
3. To print only certain pages, do one of the following:

o To print the page shown in preview, select Print Current Page.

o To print consecutive pages like 1 -3, select Custom Print and enter the first and
last page numbers in the Pages box.

o To print individual pages and a range of pages (like page 3, and pages 4-6) at the
same time, select Custom Print, and enter the page numbers and ranges separated
by commas (e.g. 3, 4-6)
EXPERIMENT 3: HOW TO INSERT HEADERS AND FOOTERS IN MS-WORD.

1. Double-click anywhere on the top or bottom margin of your document. In our example,

EXPERIMENT 4: CREATE WHAT-IF-ANALYSIS USING SCENERIOS

What-If Analysis in Excel allows you to try out different values (scenarios) for formulas. The
following example helps you master what-if analysis quickly and easily.

Assume you own a book store and have 100 books in storage. You sell a certain % for the
highest price of $50 and a certain % for the lower price of $20.

Create Different Scenarios

But what if you sell 70% for the highest price? And what if you sell 80% for the highest price?
Or 90%, or even 100%? Each different percentage is a different scenario. You can use the
Scenario Manager to create these scenarios.

Note: You can simply type in a different percentage into cell C4 to see the corresponding result
of a scenario in cell D10. However, what-if analysis enables you to easily compare the results of
different scenarios. Read on.

1. On the Data tab, in the Forecast group, click What-If Analysis.


2. Click Scenario Manager.

The Scenario Manager dialog box appears.

3. Add a scenario by clicking on Add.

4. Type a name (60% highest), select cell C4 (% sold for the highest price) for the Changing cells
and click on OK.
5. Enter the corresponding value 0.6 and click on OK again.

6. Next, add 4 other scenarios (70%, 80%, 90% and 100%).

Finally, your Scenario Manager should be consistent with the picture below:
Note: to see the result of a scenario, select the scenario and click on the Show button. Excel will
change the value of cell C4 accordingly for you to see the corresponding result on the sheet.

Scenario Summary

To easily compare the results of these scenarios, execute the following steps.

1. Click the Summary button in the Scenario Manager.

2. Next, select cell D10 (total profit) for the result cell and click on OK.

3. Select one of the following types of tabs:

A Left Tab stop sets the left end of the text line. As you type, the text fills toward the right.

A Center Tab stop sets the position at the middle of the text line. As you type, the text
centers on this position.

A Right Tab stop sets the right end of the text line. As you type, the text fills toward the left.

A Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Without regard to the number of
digits, the decimal point remains in the same position. (When you use this type of tab stop, you
must align the numbers around a decimal character. You cannot use any other type of
Character — such as a comma, a hyphen, or an ampersand symbol.)

A Bar Tab places a solid vertical line through selected text. Unlike other tabs, the bar tab is
added to the text as soon as you click the ruler. If you don't clear the bar tab stop before you print
