Enhancing Microsoft Word Skills: Track Changes and Mail Merge Techniques

In Module 3 of my Technology Boot Camp, I focused on refining my Microsoft Word skills, specifically the "Track Changes" feature and the "Mail Merge" function. I customized my Track Changes settings to highlight new insertions in bold and red, making edits easily identifiable. I also explored the Mail Merge function, allowing me to send personalized letters to multiple recipients efficiently. This module was challenging but rewarding, enhancing my ability to communicate effectively and manage documents better. My updated skill checklist is available on my blog.

  1. Technology Boot Camp, Module 3Skills Update B Zachary Taylor EDTL 6310 Bowling Green State University

  2. Using “Track Changes” • This week I decided to refine my Microsoft Word skills, beginning with the “track changes” function. • I found the “track changes” button underneath the “Review” header in Microsoft Word.

  3. Using “Track Changes” • I then changed my “Track Changes Options” regarding insertions: anything newly inserted into my document will be in bold and red.

  4. Using “Track Changes” • On the right is an example of how “Track Changes” looks when I used it for my skills update. • Notice the newly-inserted bold, red font.

  5. Using Mail Merge • I then worked on learning the “Mail Merge” function in Microsoft Word. • This function is really nice because it allows the user to create a single document that can be sent to multiple addresses, while the information in the document can be variably changed.

  6. Using Mail Merge • I used Mail Merge to draft a Forensics letter to be emailed to multiple coaches of other extracurricular activities at my high school. • I first had to insert contacts into my Mail Merge contacts list, but after that was complete, the Mail Merge function worked nicely. • Everyone received their email and was appreciative of the sentiment.

  7. Thus Concludes Module 23 • It took a lot longer than I anticipated (Mail Merge was tricky to figure out on my own), but two more technology skills are in the proverbial bag! • My updated technology skills checklist is inserted into the post on my blog! • -Zachary Taylor
