Word Advanced 1: Track Changes, Tables & Mail Merge

In this three-hour session for Windows and Mac users, you will learn how to markup or "redline" a document with suggested changes, potentially from multiple authors, and then accept or reject those changes when crafting the final version. You will also learn how to present columnar information in tables and how to draw freeform tables. You will also create a table to store data to be used in a mail merge, producing personalized letters, envelopes or mailing labels from that data.
