Mail Merge
1
It is a Word’s way of generating mass mailings. It involves combining a list of
names and addresses to individually address to each person / receiver on the list.
You can use Mail Merge to create envelopes or address labels, as well as form
letters.
Mail Merged involved the following documents;
• Main document – this document contains text and graphics. Example body of the
letter.
• Mailing list – this is your data source that is used to populate information in the
letter. It contains names and address of the recipients.
• Merged document - this document the combination of the main document

Common Error Values That You Can Encounter from Faulty Formulas
12
1. #DIV/0! appears when entering a formula that performs explicit division by
zero (0), using a reference to a blank cell or to a cell that contains zero as
the divisor in a formula or function that performs division or running a macro
that uses a function or a formula that returns the #DIV/0! error. The solution
is to make sure that the divisor in the function or formula is not zero (0) or
blank or change the cell reference in the formula to another cell that does
not contain a zero or a blank value.
2. ##### - appears when the column is not wide enough to display the content
and/or dates and times are negative numbers. The solution is to increase
the column width.
3. #NAME? Appears when the formula refers to a range name that doesn't
exist in the worksheet. This error value appears when you type the wrong
range name or fail to enclose in quotation marks some text used in the
formula, causing Excel to think that the text refers to a range name.
4. #N/A – appears when
A) an inappropriate value was given for the lookup_value argument in
the HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, MATCH, or VLOOKUP worksheet
function,
13
6. #NUM! Appears What’s
whenNew
Excel encounters a problem with a number in the
formula, such as the wrong type of argument in an Excel function or a
calculation that produces a number too large or too small to be represented
in the worksheet.
7. #REF! Appears when Excel encounters an invalid cell reference, such as
when you delete a cell referred to in a formula or paste cells over the cells
referred to in a formula.
8. #VALUE! Appears when you use the wrong type of argument or operator in
a function, or when you call for a mathematical operation that refers to cells
that contain text entries. For example, the formula =A1+B1, where A1
contains the string "Hello" and B1 contains the number 3, returns the
#VALUE! error.
