Week 10-Using Microsoft Word

Nowadays, people use microsoft word to type letters, essays, articles or any other sort of documents. I am no greenhorn to Microsoft word processing but after this week's tutorial task, I realsied that I still have much to learn. Exercises 1, 2 and 3 were pretty easy to do, however, it was the first time I actually carried out those tasks. The instructions were fairly easy to navigate through and I managed to complete the task relatively quick. Previously, when I prepared a letter on Microsoft word, I would not have used the tools shown in Advanced Exercise 1 and 2. Instead, I would prepare a separate document for each of the different recipients I was going to send the letter to, which was time-consuming and tedious. By using track changes and mail merge, I can easily make changes, and key in my recipients information after which, multiple copies of the letter are generated with the names of all recipients printed on each document. This greatly saved time and allowed me to accomplish my task much more efficiently. I believe that Microsoft word still has many other applications that I may not be aware of, so I am definitely going to make an effort to master them in due course.
