Overview

Mail merge is one of Microsoft’s most powerful Office features, especially for those who work in offices or who deal with mailings in their day-to-day lives. Without it, you need to type multiple names and mailing addresses, risking typos or other errors. These types of errors may mean that your intended recipient never gets the document or communication. In a worst-case scenario, it may even mean that a vital message goes to the wrong client, leading to confidentiality issues. Learning how to use mail merge properly can save you a lot of time, while also protecting you against unintentional privacy breaches.

This course goes into detail about how to use the most common and practical features of this invaluable tool, which is built into all versions of Microsoft Office. We begin by introducing you to the general things you need to know when preparing a mailing list, including how to use Excel and Outlook contacts for your mail merge list. Next, we move on to giving you a step-by-step guide on how to use mail merge for labels and envelopes, as well as applying it to more advanced tasks such as mass emails or letters.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
