PROJECT STEPS 1. You are the volunteer fundraising coordinator for the Aspen Centers, and you are writing a form letter to encourage past donors to support the centers again. To use the standard format for letters, change the page orientation to Portrait. 2. To increase the amount of space at the top of the first page, specify the Absolute Vertical position of the shape containing the letterhead as 1" below the Page. 3. At the bottom of page 1 and continuing on page 2, convert the 11 paragraphs of text starting with “Name…” and ending with “…South Bend” to a table with three columns to make the information easier to read. 4. To improve the appearance of the new table, format it as follows: a. Apply the Grid Table 4 – Accent 5 style to the table. b. Use the AutoFit Contents feature to resize the entire table to fit its contents. 5. Because the table exceeds the length of page 1, repeat the table header rows across pages. 6. To clarify the contents of the table, sort the table contents in ascending order, first by Type of Contribution and then by Center Location. Shelly Cashman Word 2016 | Module 6: SAM Project 1a 7. 8.

Continue to Step 5 of the Mail Merge wizard, and then edit the recipient list to sort the data records in ascending order by ZIP code in preparation for bulk mailing. 15. Complete the mail merge as follows in the lettered steps below. You will merge to a new document and then copy the contents of the merged file to the end of your original document, so that all of your assignment appears in the same file. a. Continue to Step 6 of the Mail Merge wizard, and then merge all records to a new document. b. In the new document containing the merged form letters, press CTRL+A to select all contents in the document, and then copy the selected text to the Office Clipboard. c.
