  • 2. 

    A Word document and a mailing list are merged during a mail merge.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During a mail merge, a Word document and a mailing list are indeed merged. This process allows for the creation of personalized documents, such as letters or emails, by combining a template document with a list of recipient information. The merging of the Word document and the mailing list enables the automatic insertion of personalized data into the document, such as names, addresses, or other relevant information. Therefore, the statement "A Word document and a mailing list are merged during a mail merge" is true.

  • 3. 

    Mailings tab in MS Word you have to use to access Mail Merge options.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Mailings tab in MS Word is used to access Mail Merge options. Mail Merge is a feature in MS Word that allows users to create personalized letters, envelopes, labels, and other documents by merging a main document with a data source, such as a spreadsheet or a database. The Mailings tab provides various tools and commands related to Mail Merge, such as starting the Mail Merge process, selecting recipients, inserting merge fields, previewing the merged documents, and completing the merge. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    To position the data correctly in a Mail Merge document, you need to use field placeholders.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In order to correctly position the data in a Mail Merge document, field placeholders are necessary. Field placeholders are used to indicate where specific data should be inserted in the document. They act as a reference point for the Mail Merge process to populate the document with the corresponding data from a data source. Without using field placeholders, the data may not be inserted in the desired locations within the document, resulting in incorrect positioning. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Social Security Number is not a default field name.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because a Social Security Number is not a default field name. Default field names typically refer to commonly used field names that are pre-defined in a system or database. While a Social Security Number may be a commonly used field in certain contexts, it is not a default field name that is universally recognized or predefined in all systems.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A Mail Merge list can contain multiple addresses but not multiple records.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A Mail Merge list can contain multiple addresses and multiple records. This allows users to create personalized documents, such as letters or labels, by merging the information from the list into the document template. Each record in the list corresponds to a unique set of data, including the recipient's address, name, and other relevant details. Therefore, the statement that a Mail Merge list cannot contain multiple records is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    To use the Mail Merge task pane, you need to click Tools, and on the Tools menu, click Mail Merge.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In Microsoft Word, to use the Mail Merge task pane, you typically need to go to the "Mailings" tab (not the "Tools" menu). The process usually involves clicking on the "Mailings" tab and then selecting "Start Mail Merge" to access the Mail Merge task pane.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    City is a default field name.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    "City" is not a default field name in a mail merge data source. The default field names typically include common fields like "First Name," "Last Name," "Address," etc. If you have a specific field for the city in your data source, you would need to use the actual name of that field in your mail merge document.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Filter feature is used for the arrangement of the records in a data source before merging.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is True. The filter feature can indeed be used for the arrangement of records in a data source before merging. This process, often referred to as data filtering, can involve merging subsets of your data sources instead of performing a complete merge. This might be needed when you want to merge data falling within a certain time period. So, the filter feature can be a useful tool for organizing and selecting specific data before a merge operation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Insert Merge Field button temporarily merges your data source and main document for you to view and test.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Insert Merge Field button does not merge the data source and main document. It is used to insert specific fields from the data source into the main document, allowing you to customize and personalize the document based on the data in the data source. It does not perform the actual merging process. Therefore, the answer is false.
