“Review of Microsoft Word Features” Presented by Dick Curry Dick Curry opened with a Q & A period that centered on the Microsoft Beta version Spy ware program. He runs it himself and quoted from a very favorable review of the program. It is a free download until July 31. Microsoft hasn’t announced what will happen after that. Dick recommends running at least two other spy ware programs in addition. He has Ad-Aware and Spybot. The complete outline of Dick’s presentation entitled “ Review of Microsoft Word Features” follows these notes that amplify some of the main points. He first demonstrated how to develop a Stationary Template. Templates are very useful. Using this one to open a new letter provides a view already containing your Name, Address, Date line, a logo if desired and closing salutation. An existing letter in your file could be used as a template but if by mistake you “save” the new version instead of using “save as” you have lost the original. This is not a problem with a template. It is convenient to put a short cut to your template on the desktop. Dick then illustrated many of the steps that can go into creating a Word document as listed in his outline. Mail merge is a very powerful tool. Dick demonstrated how to first create a form letter that would go to all recipients after the addition of personal information items. Then he displayed an Excel name list formatted especially to fill in the blanks in the form letter. This can include salutation, first name last name, address, phone number, etc, The merge command then merges the information to produce individual letters with all of the information in the proper place.
