Install lengths of J-channel along the inner edge of the fascia. The J-channel will conceal the cut edges of the soffit lengths and will provide a watertight seal. Your nails should be centered in the channel slots and the nail heads should remain 1/32-to-1/16 inches (0.7938-to-1.6 mm) out. Boxed-type soffits will need a second J Channel strip, running from the fascia to the edge of the house. If the soffit on your house wraps around a corner, you will need to make provisions for the change of direction. You can do this by installing two J-channels diagonally where the corners of the roof and house meet. You will have to cut a number of soffit and vent pieces at an angle to accommodate the diagonal pieces of J-channel. Vinyl siding usually comes in 12-foot (3.66-meter) lengths. Therefore, you will need to cut these long pieces of siding to fit the measurements of your soffit. Keep in mind that the soffit pieces should measure 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) shorter than the actual length of the soffit. This 14 inch (0.6cm) gap allows for the expansion of vinyl siding in warm weather. Once the J-channel is installed and the soffit pieces are cut, you will be able install them. You can do this by pressing the soffit pieces into the channel, bending them to fit if necessary (vinyl siding is quite flexible). If you're having difficulty just pressing them in, you may need to pull the channel lip back with a pry bar or locking tool to get the siding panels to fit . Once the soffit pieces are installed, remove the gutter/downspout and slide the lengths of fascia siding under the gutter apron. Secure the top edge of the fascia pieces with galvanized or painted nails placed every couple of feet. Reattach the gutters.

From your primary document, click the pane to open it. If you don't see it, open the Tools menu and select Mail Merge from the list. The mail merge tool in Office has a few steps designed to make your life easier by merging your files more cleverly and accurately. Start by telling it what kind of document you're writing. Click the best fit, and then click Next. Tell it what "starting document" (primary document) you want to use. If you've followed these steps, you should be able to select "use this document." Click Next. This is the data file you created previously. Select the appropriate radio button and click Next to search for the file and connect it to your primary document. If you'd prefer to use your Outlook address book, click that option instead. Office allows you to select or deselect rows of information as you please. This allows you to choose which items of information in the data file you want to merge into the primary document, making the data file more useful over time as you use it for various different things. When you are satisfied, click Next. The data can be sorted by clicking the headers of each column. This can be useful if you need to quickly search through a lot of information. On the next page of the task pane, you will be prompted to write your document if you haven't already done so, and presented with an array of options for inserting data from the file into the document. Insert a data field by placing the cursor where the field will go, and then clicking the appropriate button on the task pane to insert it there. You can delete misplaced or duplicate data fields by pushing the Delete key, the same as an ordinary letter or number. The preset options change slightly based on what type of document you told Office you were writing. Office does its best to fill in the appropriate information from the data you give it. For example, if you're writing a form business letter, you might see an option to insert an address block, which includes each recipient's first and last name and full address, neatly organized on a few lines. Some of the preset options will open up additional windows for you to fill in appropriate information. These are all more or less straightforward and easy to understand. If you are using a preset and it doesn't seem to be able to find the right information, click the button marked "Match Fields" to teach the program which of your field names correspond to its standard names. For instance, you can show it that it should use the "Family Name" category in your data file to fill in "Last Name" data in an address block. To use your own fields, click "more options." You'll be able to see the names you gave each column and use them instead. Mail merge won't display the specific information in the fields you apply to your primary document until you print it out, but Office does offer a preview function that allows you to check and make sure that information is appearing correctly according to how you placed the fields in your document. Feel free to use it until you're satisfied that everything is in order. The final screen of the mail merge task pane informs you that everything in place, and it is ready to print your documents. One set of information will appear per document printed, and the program will print out as many copies as there are sets of information. If you want to make individual edits to specific letters, you can also do that from this task pane screen by clicking "edit individual letters" first.

Do not wave your arms or hands around, as this can be seen as aggressive by the dog. Clench your fingers together into loose fists and keep your arms at your sides. Plant your feet hip width apart and stand still. Do not try to touch or pat the dog, as this can be interpreted as aggressive. Never reach out to touch a dog you do not know. Do not stare in the dog's eyes or meet it at eye level. Instead, look at its feet or at your own feet. This will let the dog know that you are not a threat. Position your body so you are facing one side of the dog. Do not stand so you are positioned head on with it or behind it, as this can spook it. Avoid yelling or shouting around the dog, as this can scare it. Instead, speak in a low, calm voice. You may say "Hello there" or "Nice doggy" to let the dog know you are friendly. If you know the dog's name, try saying its name a few times calmly and slowly. This will let it know you are not a threat. If the dog gets close to you and does not display signs of aggression like growling, crouching, or barking, allow it to sniff your legs or waist. Stay still as it sniffs you. Once it smells you, it may determine you are not a threat and move away from you. If you are not comfortable letting the dog sniff you, move away from the dog safely and slowly so neither of you are in danger.
