Spreadsheets and word processing can be very useful tools for small business owners. This class is a basic workshop which will cover how to create and edit a client list in Excel and how to use that list as a data source for a Word mail merge. We will learn how to create a coupon that can be sent out to your clients. We will go step by step through the process so you can use these tools once class is completed. We recommend having access to Excel and Word, but if you use other software such as Google Sheets or Google Docs, these programs also have these tools so the lessons can still be useful.
