You can also enter a new address by first clicking the Append button to append<br />

a new record and then typing in the address.<br />

5. Click on the Insert button.<br />

At each place in the template where there is a database field, TextMaker now<br />

inserts the content corresponding to that field from the chosen data record.<br />

The result is, for example, a letterhead completely filled out with the address of the<br />

letter’s recipient. All you have to do now is write the text of the letter and then<br />

print the document. To do this, invoke File > Print – not File > Print Merge.<br />

Tip: In the dialog box for the command File > New you will see some folders.<br />

Any of them can be opened with a double click. They contain preformatted<br />

document templates for writing letters, faxes, etc. Most of these templates are<br />

associated with the example database TMW.DBF that is supplied with the program.<br />

Lists and labels<br />

FreeOffice: This feature is not included in <strong>SoftMaker</strong> FreeOffice.<br />

With the list and label generator you can prepare address lists or labels using the<br />

addresses in a database.<br />

To do this, you simply create a mask, where you specify the arrangement of the<br />

database fields, using the command Insert > Lists & Labels. When this is completed,<br />

TextMaker inserts the corresponding fields into the document – as normal<br />

text or in the form of a table, as you choose.<br />

More detailed information about this topic is given on the pages following.<br />

Creating lists and labels<br />

FreeOffice: This feature is not included in <strong>SoftMaker</strong> FreeOffice.<br />

When you want to create a label, you should first begin a new document with File<br />

> New. Lists can also be inserted directly into an existing document. To do this,<br />

simply place the text cursor at the desired position.<br />
