A table is a grid of columns and rows that organizes data. A table has headings in the first row and related dates in the following rows. The intersection of row and column is a cell. The cell is where you type data. A table is considered an object, it can be selected and manipulated independently of surrounding text. 1 If you want to place a title across the top of a table or center a label over columns or rows of data, you can merge cells. To merge cells select the rows or column in which to merge cells, click the Table Tools Layout tab and click Merge Cells in the merge group. To split a single cell into multiple cells, or split a row or column to provide additional detail in separate cells, select Spit Cells in the Merge group of the Table Tools Layout tab. 2 A Mail Merge is a feature that combines content from a main document and a data source, with the option of creating a new document. Mail Merge is often used to send personalized e-mail messages to multiple recipients. Creating a mail-merge e-mail makes it appear as if each recipient is the sole addressee. You can also use mail merge to send an email in which the message is personalized for each recipient, perhaps referring to the recipient by name within the body of the message. You also use Mail Merge to create a set of form letters, personalizing or modifying each on of the recipients. To begin a Mail Merge click the Mailings tab and click Start Mail Merge Wizard in the Start mail merge group. A wizard guides you through the process one step at a time. 3
