Create successful ePaper yourself

Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software.

Then invoke the command Insert > Lists & Labels. A dialog box appears; from it<br />

you can call up and edit previously saved list and label definitions (see next section).<br />

To create a new list or a new label, click on the New button. TextMaker asks you to<br />

provide a name for the label/list. Enter whatever name you like and confirm with<br />

OK.<br />

Next, TextMaker asks you for the database that contains the addresses. Select it and<br />

confirm with OK.<br />

Now the dialog box for creating the list/label appears.<br />

Enter the desired database fields in the Mask input field – arranged as they should<br />

appear later when they are rendered. To do this, type the field names with enclosing<br />

curly braces (e.g. {NAME}) or transfer fields from the Database fields list<br />

with double clicks. An example of a completed label mask is given in the illustration<br />

above.<br />

You can work in the input field as you would in normal text by moving the text<br />

cursor, deleting text, copying, etc. It is possible not only to insert fields, but also to<br />

enter text. To begin a new line, press the Enter key (¢). Tabs are entered with<br />

(Ctrl)(Tab), not with (Tab).<br />

When you have finished preparing the mask, you can specify the way TextMaker is<br />

to insert data records with the following dialog settings:<br />
