Use Mail Merge to Send Personalized e-Mail Messages to Your e-Mail Address List | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft |
| When one wants to send personalized e-mail to recipients in the address list, one can use mail merge to create the e-mail messages. Each message has the same kind of information, yet the content of each message is unique. For example, in e-mail to the customers, each message can be personalized to address each customer by name. The unique information in each message comes from entries in a data file.

Creating a Macro to Meet Court Requirements for Document Margins | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft Tips |
| Different courts have different requirements, or preferences, for document margins. Frequently, they do not want all the pages treated the same way.

One can accommodate these preferences by setting the margins every time one creates a document. An easier way is to automate this task by creating a macro (a set of keystrokes and instructions recorded and saved for later use), so that the computer sets the margins quickly, correctly, and consistently, for every document. Investing a few minutes now to automate this task will pay off quickly. |
