Using RISC MailMerge Wizard

NEXT

This four-step Wizard is simple to use.  Step 1 - Verify your default printer.  RISC tells you which printer it would like to print your multiple letters to.  If that's not the one you want, change it in Windows.  Step 2 - Select Your Form Letter.  In this example, the Grade 6 girls are going to the University of NSW.  This form letter is selected from the same list that all RISC form letters are selected from.  Step 3 - Choose your recipients.  The first iteration of the MailMerge Wizard allows you to select groups of students by either Grade, Roll Class or Gender, or any combination of the above.  Here, we have chosen all of Grade 6, regardless of Home Group, but specifically Female gender.  Step 4 - Calculate, Merge and Print.  A quick click of the Calculate button will verify the number of students RISC will print the letter for so that you can ensure your printer is stocked with enough of the right paper.  Then you would click the Merge and Print button and sit back while the MailMerge Wizard weaves its magic.  You'll soon realise that it's much easier to mail merge for students and parents using RISC than it is using MS-Word alone.  Cool.
