Think Outside the Box

The data in this table will be used to create a Mail Merge. Most people think that a Mail Merge is just for the printing the mailing address on an envelope or label. Think outside the box: You can use a Mail Merge to create unique business cards, customized for each person in your list. Here are the steps to add another column and enter custom data.

 

4. Try It: Add a Column

First, select the Last Name column by highlighting the cells.

Go to Table Tools ->Layout->Rows & Columns.

Click on Insert Right.

 

 

What Do You See? As you add another column to the right, the table will adjust the width of the other columns so that the table stays the same width. The text in the address column may become two or three lines deep. That's OK...
