2.     In the Mail Merge task pane, click Next: Select recipients.
Select recipients
When you open or create a data source by using the Mail Merge Wizard, you are telling Word to use a specific set of variable information for your merge. Use one of the following methods to attach the main document to the data source.
Method 1: Use an existing data source
To use an existing data source, follow these steps:
1.     In the Mail Merge task pane, click Use an existing list.
2.     In the Use an existing list section, click Browse.
3.     In the Select Data Source dialog box, select the file that contains the variable information that you want to use, and then click Open.
Note If the data source is not listed in the list of files, select the appropriate drive and folder. If necessary, select the appropriate option in the All Data Sources list. Select the file, and then click Open.
Word displays the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box. You can sort and edit your data if you want to.
4.     Click OK to return to the main document.
5.     Save the main document.
When you save the main document at this point, you are also saving the data source and attaching the data source to the main document.
6.     Type the name that you want to give to your main document, and then click Save.
Method 2: Use names from a Microsoft Outlook Contacts List

3.     Click Create.
The New Address List dialog box appears. In this dialog box, enter the address information for each record. If there is no information for a particular field, leave the box blank.
By default, Word skips blank fields. Therefore, the merge is not affected if blank entries are in the data form. The set of information in each form makes up one data record.
4.     After you type the information for a record, click New Entry to move to the next record.
To delete a record, click Delete Entry. To search for a specific record, click Find Entry. To customize your list, click Customize. In the Customize Address List dialog box, you can add, delete, rename, and reorder the merge fields.

Note This option requires that you have a postage software program installed on your computer.
o    More items: Use this option to insert individual merge fields. When you click More Items, the Insert Merge Field dialog box appears.
Note Make sure that your cursor is where you want to insert the information from your data source before you click More Items.
In the Insert Merge Field dialog box, click the merge field that you want to use, and then click Insert.
Note You can insert all of your fields and then go back and add any spaces or punctuation. Alternatively, you can insert one field at a time, close the Insert Merge Fields dialog box, add any spaces or punctuation that you want, and then repeat this step for each additional merge field that you want to insert. You can also format (apply bold or italic formatting to) the merge fields, just like regular text.
3.     When you finish editing the main document, click Save or Save As on the File menu.
Note In Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save or Save As.

Glossary
·         Address list: An address list is a file that contains the data that varies in each copy of a merged document. For example, a data source can include the name and address of each recipient of a form letter.
Boilerplate: Generic information that is repeated in each form letter, mailing label, envelope, or directory (catalog).
Data field: A category of information in a data source. A data field corresponds to one column of information in the data source. The name of each data field is listed in the first row (header row) of the data source. "PostalCode" and "LastName" are examples of data field names.
Data record: A complete set of related information in a data source. A data record corresponds to one row of information in the data source. All information about one client in a client mailing list is an example of a data record.
Delimited file: A text file that has data fields separated (or delimited) by tab characters or commas, and data records delimited by paragraph marks.
Header row: The first row (or record) in a mail merge data source. The header row contains the field names for the categories of information in the data source; for example, "Name" and "City." The header row can also be stored in a separate document called the header source.
Main document: In a mail merge operation, the document that contains the text and graphics that remain the same for each version of the merged document; for example, the return address and body of a form letter.
Merge field: A placeholder that you insert in the main document. Merge fields tell Microsoft Word where to insert specific information from the data source. For example, insert the merge field "City" to have Word insert a city name, such as "Paris," that is stored in the City data field.

How to Open Docx Files Without Microsoft Word 2007



Docx format was introduced by Microsoft in 2007 with a quest for people to upgrade their office software and other Microsoft services. This version of MS Office 2007 is not compatible with the older versions like Office 2003 or Office 2000. I get annoyed when I receive the .docx files from my friends and I don’t have Office 2007 installed on my machine and I don’t have any plans to upgrade it either.
open docx files
So I will tell you five known ways to open a .docx file even if you don’t have microsoft office 2007 installed on your computer.

1. Microsoft Compatibility Pack
This pack is introduced by Microsoft so that its new products are backward compatible with the older software. This pack will allow you to open, edit and save all your office documents in the latest versions of the Microsoft. This pack is available from the website of the company.
2. OpenOffice
This is an open source alternative to the Microsoft Office. This software is free and easy to use. You can open them directly or using its Open XML Translator tool.
3. Go Online
Internet is flooded with many websites that offer you free services to convert the .docx format into .doc format online. There are several popular online converters available such as Zamzar and docx2doc. You can opt for the offline conversion also by downloading the Docx-convertor dashboard from here.
4. Google Docs
And here comes the Google to rescue us from this situation. The Google docs enable you to view your .docx file online but keep in mind that the formatting can be affected.
5. Using Firefox Extension
OpenXML Viewer Firefox Plugin is developed for Microsoft Office 2007 or higher version that enables you to view the .docx files in the browser itself. This plugin works by converting the .docx into HTML on the fly retaining all the formatting and other layouts. You can download this plugin from here.

5 Free Must Have Hardware Diagnostic Tools





Every computer has hardware problems eventually, so it’s important to keep hardware diagnostic tools on hand. It could be because your computer will not boot due to a problem which could be either hardware of software related.
But you don’t need to spend money on expensive tools. These five free tools can help you diagnose most hardware problems.

Memory Scan

It’s almost impossible to diagnose a problem with your computer memory (RAM) without a memory scanner. Luckily, you don’t need a special hardware memory checker—you can use a tool to boot your computer into a special mode which will check your memory. There are several good tools, but I recommend the open source MemTest86, which works on Intel-style 32-bit and 64-bit PCs.
You can get MemTest86 for free from http://www.memtest86.com/.

CheckDisk / BadBlocks

If you think your hard drive has a problem, you need to check the whole drive for possible errors. If you find a few errors, you may be able to continue to use the drive as long as you re-check the drive on a regular basis. If you find a bunch of errors, you’ll need to replace the drive.
The free tool built into Windows XP and higher to check your drive is called CHKDSK (for Check Disk). Linux bootable CDs and USB drives include a similar but more comprehensive tool called badblocks.

Spare Cables

Although spare cables aren’t free if you buy them separately, most people who regularly buy computer accessories tend to accumulate spare cables. Don’t throw out those spare cables. A surprisingly large number of hardware problems are caused by failing cables, and swapping your current cable with a spare is a simple and free way to test whether or not your problems are caused by bad cables.

Sensors

One of reasons hardware fails inside your computer is because your computer gets too hot. Overheating happens when the vents on your case are obstructed, or when dust accumulates inside your case, or when your computer cooling fans fail.
Almost all computers have one or more heat sensors built in them. Many computers also include additional sensors for fan speed and other important hardware maintenance functions. You can read these sensors using free tools such as Microsoft Temperature Sensor Gadget or the freeware SpeedFan.

Linux Live CD / USB

Sometimes you can’t tell whether a problem on your computer is caused by a hardware failure or a software failure. If that’s the case, your best tool is to try a fresh operating system. You can use the recovery mode provided on many computers, but often it’s best to just use a whole new operating system.
Bootable (“Live”) Linux CDs, DVDs, and USB sticks make that easy. You insert the disc or USB stick in your computer, reboot, and get a whole fully-functional Linux operating system. You can see if your hardware works correctly in Linux. If it does, you know your problem is software related on Windows. If the hardware still doesn’t work correctly, you know it’s a hardware problem and you can get started fixing or replacing it.
