Lesson 3 Reflection

I think that lesson 3 was the lesson that I learned most on. I have always known how to compose a letter, but I have never known how to compose a business letter or a personal business letter. I also learned how to do mail merge. Mail merge will always help me in the future because now i kno that I will not have to waste my time trying to type individual letters out to peopll when i am trying to send information. I even learned how to create multiple envelopes at once without having any problems. I can use these tinngs in my everyday life because they are efficient ways to complete a task quickly and easily. Composing a letter is not that difficult any more. All you have to do is use MLA format and you are good to go. Mail merge on the other hand can be difficult at times, but once you get the hang of it it is actually kind of cool to see all the messages that you have made in such a little amount of time. It took me a while to get my envelopes to look right at first aswell but after i tried a 3rd time I finally fixed my mistakes. Lesson 3 was actually pretty fun now that I think about it.

Mail Merge

Mail merge is an application on microspft word that allows you to produce many copies of mail and envelopes. The purpose of mail merge is to make copies of something that you would like to send to multiple people without re-typing it over and over again. Someone would usually use mail merge when they are trying to send out invitations to a party or send thank you cards. it is a very efficient and quick way to send information out to multiple people.
