Working with Themes and Building BlocksMerging Word Documents Page 11

12 Creating a Web page and posting it on the Internet or an intranet is a powerful way to share information with other people. You can design a Web page from scratch in Word, or you can use the Save As command to save an existing document in HTML format so it can be viewed with a browser. When you save an existing document as a Web page, Word converts the content and formatting of the Word file to HTML and displays the Web page in Web Layout view, which shows the Web page as it will appear in a browser. Any formatting that is not supported by Web browsers is either converted to similar supported formatting or removed from the Web page. For example, if you save a document that contains a floating graphic in HTML format, the graphic will be left- or right-aligned on the Web page. To be able to position text and graphics precisely on a document you plan to save as a Web page, it s best to create a table in the document, and then insert text and graphics in the table cells. To save a document as a Web page, open the Save As dialog box, and then select a Web page format in the Save as type list box. You have the option of saving the document in Single File Web Page (.mht or.mhtml) format or in Web Page (.htm or.html) format. In a single file Web page, all the elements of the Web page, including the text and graphics, are saved together in a single MIME encapsulated aggregate HTML (MHTML) file, making it simple to publish your Web page or send it via . By contrast, if you choose to save a Web page as an.htm file, Word automatically creates a supporting folder in the same location as the.htm file. This folder has the same name as the.htm file plus the suffix _files, and it houses the supporting files associated with the Web page, such as graphics. PTS: 1 REF: Word 155 TOP: Critical Thinking 2. How can you change the default theme? By default, all new documents created in Word are formatted with the Office theme, but you can change your settings to use a different theme as the default. To change the default theme to a different built-in or custom theme, press [Ctrl][N] to open a new blank document, click the Themes button in the Themes group on the Page Layout tab, and then click the theme you want to use as the default. If you want to customize the theme before saving it as the new default, use the Theme Colors, Theme Fonts, and Theme Effects buttons in the Themes group to customize the settings for theme colors, fonts, and effects. Alternatively, click the Change Styles button in the Styles group on the Home tab, and then use the Style Set, Colors, and Fonts options to select a new style set, new colors, or new fonts to use in the new default theme. When you are satisfied with the settings for the new default theme, click the Change Styles button again, and then click Set as Default. The Themes gallery will be updated to reflect your changes. PTS: 1 REF: Word 157 TOP: Critical Thinking 3. How can you rename a building block? How can you edit other properties of the building block? You can edit the properties of a building block at any time, including changing its name, gallery location, category, and description. To modify building block properties, simply right-click the item in a gallery, and then click Edit Properties. In the Modify Building Block dialog box that opens, edit the item s name or description, or assign it to a new gallery or category. When you are finished, click OK, and then click Yes in the warning box that opens. You can also modify the properties of a building block by selecting the item in the Building Blocks Organizer, and then clicking Edit Properties.

Working with Themes and Building BlocksMerging Word Documents Page 22

23 If you are creating letters or faxes, you can use a mail merge template to start your main document. Each template includes boilerplate text, which you can customize, and merge fields, which you can match to the field names in your data source. To create a main document that is based on a mail merge template, click the Start from a template option button in the Step 2 of 6 Mail Merge task pane, and then click Select template. In the Select Template dialog box, select a template from the Letters or Faxes tab that includes the word Merge in its name, and then click OK to create the document. Once you have created the main document, you can customize it with your own information: edit the boilerplate text, change the document format, or add, remove, or modify the merge fields. Before performing the merge, make sure to match the names of the merge fields used in the template with the field names used in your data source. To match the field names, click the Match Fields button in the Write & Insert Fields group on the Mailings tab, and then use the list arrows in the Match Fields dialog box to select the field name in your data source that corresponds to each address field component in the main document. You can also create a main document that is based on a template by using a template to create the main document and then adding merge fields to it. PTS: 1 REF: Word 180 TOP: Critical Thinking 2. How can you use your Outlook contact list as a data source for a merge? If you maintain lists of contacts in Microsoft Outlook, you can use one of your Outlook contact lists as a data source for a merge. To merge with an Outlook data source, click the Select from Outlook contacts option button in the Step 3 of 6 Mail Merge task pane, then click Choose Contacts Folder to open the Choose Profile dialog box. In this dialog box, use the Profile Name list arrow to select the profile you want to use, then click OK to open the Select Contacts dialog box. In this dialog box, select the contact list you want to use as the data source, and then click OK. All the contacts included in the selected folder appear in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box. Here you can refine the list of recipients to include in the merge by sorting and filtering the records. When you are satisfied, click OK in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box. PTS: 1 REF: Word 183 TOP: Critical Thinking 3. Explain the difference between sorting and filtering the records to be merged. Sorting the records determines the order in which the records are merged. For example, you might want to sort an address data source so that records are merged alphabetically by last name or in zip code order. Filtering the records pulls out the records that meet specific criteria and includes only those records in the merge. For instance, you might want to filter a data source to send a mailing only to people who live in the state of New York. You can use the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box both to sort and to filter a data source.

A mail merge operation combines a standard document, such as a form letter, with customized data, such as a set of names and addresses, to create a set of personalized documents. You can perform a mail merge to create letters, labels, and other documents used in mass mailings, or to create standard documents that typically include customized information, such as business cards.
