Using Mail Merge Consider a scenario where you are required to send yearly appraisal of all students to their respective guardians These appraisal letters would contain some text that will remain same for all recipients, while the information about each student, like the guardian name, address, and grades, will change One way of doing this would be to print the letters, each time going back to the document and changing the address. This would require a lot of time and effort. Another way is to use The Mail Merge feature of Word as a solution to this problem.

Also, headers and footers are contained in the top and bottom margins, so make sure you do not decrease the margins too much or the header and footer information might not print completely It’s always a good practice to preview the entire document before printing if you have adjusted the margins.

Page orientation: Allows you to adjust objects that do not fit the page width-wise Sometimes, you can choose to print the document in landscape orientation rather than the default portrait orientation Paper size: Allows you to change the current page size for printing purposes For certain documents, you might need to change the paper size for printing. Columns: Allows you to format your page like newspapers, newsletters, magazines and brochures. Page break: Allows you to create a new page when there is more text on a page than the margins can accommodate When there is more text on a page than the margins, Word creates a new page by inserting a page break. Word’s page breaks do not always fall where you want them to in a document, so when you have completed a long document, you will often need to paginate it manually by adding page breaks
