Smile I'm having trouble doing these tasks

Hello friends,

I'm new to this forum. MS office is part of my CIT class and I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind helping me with some instructions on an assignment:

Step Instructions Point Value 1 etc. etc.



2

3

4

5

6

7 Create a formula in the last cell on the last row to average the Salary column. (Hint: In the Formula dialog box, remove the suggested function, but leave the =, and paste an Average function, indicating that the average should include the numbers Above.) Format the average as $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00), which is different from the entries in the column above.
9 8
8 9
8 10
8 11
7 12 Start a Mail Merge using the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard. You will use the current letter as the starting document. The recipient information is derived from w03_grader_h1_datasource.docx.
7 13 Replace the bracketed placeholders in the letter, Address Block, FirstName, and DaysWorking, with fields from the data source. Use default settings for the Address block.
7 14 Complete the merge, merging all records with the data source, resulting in three letters. Save the merged letters as exploring_w03_grader_h1_end.
7 15 Close exploring_w03_grader_h1_end.docx. Close exploring_w03_grader_h1.docx without saving it. Exit Word. Submit exploring_w03_grader_h1_end.docx as directed.
0


I am not able to make it average out the contents above the average keyword. Would someone please help with these instructions. They aren't the full instructions, but they are what I need help on. I got stuck on 11 and didn't get further, etc.

I'll post screen shots if needed.

Thanks.

Best,

jackmackfack

Helping with that would be unethical.

Default Why would it be unethical?

I'm supposed to research and its not clear where the instructions would take me. Also, most of the instructions are perfectly clear. Those particular instructions aren't, so that's kind of fishy. Are you sure you don't know how to help? I just want to know at least what I'm misunderstanding in the instructions please.

Thanks.

Best,

jackmackfack

PS

I'll ask my teacher about getting help in forums. They let people do this with programming so I'd assume its okay with word...

Researching doesn't mean asking someone else to spoon-feed you. Have you looked at the various tabs on the Word Ribbon? Sure I know how to do all this (and, thus, how to help), but that's not the point.

Your #7 requires nothing more than selecting the target cell and using the Formula button on the Layout tab of the Table Tools context Ribbon, then following the rest of the instructions. Nothing difficult there.

Your #7 12 - #7 15 require nothing more than following the amply detailed instructions you've been given. It's a bit rich asking for advice on how to follow such instructions.
