ReplyDeleteBespoke ICT Training Case Study – Mail-Merging to Printer Labels
ReplyDeleteA Nottingham based printer contacted me asking for some specific Excel training. He had just produced some printing work for Asda which now had to be sent to every Asda store in the UK; they had sent him address details on an Excel spread sheet. As a printer he could happily print labels from Word as long as each label was the same. He was a confident computer user, very good with Photoshop and printing applications but never having much need to used Excel.
His problem was that he did not know how to mail-merge from Excel into Word to produce individually addressed labels. He did not like the idea of asking one of his staff to spend valuable time labelling each package by hand because he knew that there was a much quicker ICT solution. So he asked me to come in and show him how to mail-merge to printer labels.
The training took around half an hour we took some screen shots (pasted into Word) as we went along and the fully addressed labels came out of the printer in about 2 minutes. He then went thought the who process again on his own using the screen shot notes to check that he would be able to do it again without me being there.
The printer was very happy because not only had he learnt a new and useful ICT skill but the time cost of a member of staff labelling packages by hand would have far outweighed the cost his bespoke training.
