To move to the previous level (e.g. from Heading 2 to Heading 1) click on the Promote button onthe Outline toolbar.

To return a paragraph to body text using the Normal style, click on the Demote to Body Text button on the Outline toolbar.

Text can be repositioned without the need to select entire paragraphs.

To move a paragraph up or down, click in the paragraph and then on the Move Up or MoveDown buttons on the Outline toolbar

To view only specific levels of text, click on the Show button of the last number you wish to view.To view all heading 1 and 2 text, for example, click on 2.

In normal view, section breaks appear as follows:

Section Breaks

There are four types of section breaks that can be inserted into a document:





Break Description

Mail Merge - The Starting Document

This is Step 2 of the mail merge wizard which prompts you to provide more information about themain document you have selected. You need to have completed step 1 before proceeding.

In the task pane, select the source for your main document (see table below)

Once you have selected your starting document source, click on Next at the bottom of the task pane

to move to Step 3

sorting, selecting and filtering and then click OK.





Click on Next at the bottom of the task pane to move to step 4 of the mail merge.

Mail Merge - Writing your Letter

Writing your letter is step 4 in the mail merge wizard

If you have not selected a previously typed document, or template that contains text, you will nowneed to type your letter in the document displayed in the left hand window.

To proceed with your mail merge you need to position fields from the recipient list in the documentwhere you would like the data to appear in the document.

Use the following links on the task pane to insert data:

Option Description

This adds an address block for the top of the letter - you can choose how the

name and address will appear

This adds a greeting line e.g. Dear Mr Smith. You can choose exactly how thisgreeting will appear

You can only use this option if you have electronic postage software installed on

your computer

This lets you add the content of a specific field at the cursor position e.g. Name or

Zip Code

As well as inserting fields, you can type any text or insert items such as tables, images, etc. as required. All

merge fields will appear in double-angled brackets in the document:





The same fields can be used more than once in the main document e.g. you could use the First Name in the

address of the document, and again in the salutation line.

Matching Fields

If you have used a data source other than one created in Word or using Outlook contacts, your data source field

names may not match Word's defaults. If your data source contains a column named Surname for example, this

will not be recognised by Word as the column here is called Last Name.

To match your data source fields to Word's default field names:

In the Address Block, Greeting Line or More Items dialog box, click on Match Fields

Next to each field, select the matching field from your data source

Click on OK

Macro Security

A macro virus is a virus stored within a macro in a document or template. When you open the document and

execute the macro, either knowingly or by accident, the virus will be activated and stored in your main Word

template. After this has occurred, each document you open is in danger of being infected by the virus - and it is

possible for you to transfer the virus to other user's computers by emailing documents or saving files on shared

network drives.

For this reason, Word 2003 offers a number of security levels for the treatment of files containing macros.

Level Description

Very High Unsigned macros are disabled, and signed macros are only enabled if installed in atrusted location

High Unsigned macros are disabled while signed macros are enabled.

Medium If the macro is unsigned, the user will be prompted as to whether they wish to enable ordisable the macro. Signed macros are automatically enabled.

Low All macros, signed or unsigned, are enabled.





To set the level of security you wish to use:

Choose Tools, Macro, Security.

Choose the Security Level you wish to use.

You can also set macro security by choosing Tools, Options and the Security tab. Click on the Macro

Security button.

Other Things to Consider

If you have virus scanning software installed on your computer that is compatible with Office 2000 andabove, all macros will be scanned for viruses before they are enabled. For this reason, it is always

recommended to work only on a computer that has an active up-to-date virus scanning application.

Templates

Every Word document is based on a template - the default template for blank documents isnormal.dot. Templates can contain standard text and formatting that is entered automatically eachtime a new document is created from the template.

As well as standard text and formatting such as margins and fonts, the following can also be stored inthe template:

Styles - named collections of formatting that can be applied to text as required. AutoText - glossaries of standard text that can be inserted into the document as required.

Toolbars - custom sets of buttons that can be used to perform common tasks.

Macros - named collections of commands that can be run automatically as required.




Creating a Template

A new template can be created by adding all of the required elements to a new document e.g.

standard text, page setup, headers and footers and other formatting.

Ensure all standard text has been typed and any formatting options to be saved in the templatehave been applied.

Choose File, Save As.

Click in the File Name box and enter a name for the template.

Change Save As Type to Document Template - the default template folder will be displayed.

Choose Save.
