At the start of this week we are finishing the exercises on mail merge. Please become familiar with the terms main document, data source document and merged document; it enables us to talk to each other much more efficiently.
AutoCorrect, AutoComplete, AutoText
In class we had had a demo in class of how AutoCorrect works (e.g. type 'teh' followed by a space and AutoCorrect immediately changes it to 'the') and learned how to create your own AutoCorrect entries, that is, your own shortcuts to automatically insert text. Now, for example, using AutoCorrect or AutoText you can type a few characters, such as jc1 followed by a space, and Word will replace it with Jarvis Collegiate Institute.
AutoCorrect, AutoComplete and AutoText are generally similar, with only small differences. This unit in your yellow booklet should take you less than one class to complete.
