Insert as Table/Insert as Text
If you select the Insert as text option in the Format group box data records are
simply written in the text one after another – according to the mask you specified.
With the Insert as table option, on the other hand, TextMaker creates a table
with the data. Each data record is placed in its own cell in the table. You can
specify the number of Columns in the table and the Minimum height of each
cell:
Columns
If the Insert as table format is selected, you can specify here the number of
columns the table should contain. For example, if you want to create an address
list with two columns, or if you use label sheets with two labels across, enter
“2” here.
Minimum height
If the Insert as table format is selected, you can specify here the minimum
height for the cells in the table.
If “0 in” is given, TextMaker controls the cell height automatically in the usual
manner for tables – the more a cell contains, the larger it grows.
On the other hand, an entry of “2” causes TextMaker to set the height of all
cells in the table to 2 in. Caution: If you enter too many fields in the mask, so
that they will not fit within this 2 in, TextMaker will automatically increase the
height of the cells – that’s why this setting is called the minimum height!
Records Group Box
Here you can select the records in the database that are to be inserted: All, only
the Selected records (see section “Selecting data records” beginning on page
351) or a Range of records that you specify with the record numbers for the
first and last records in the range.
When you confirm with OK, the list/label definition is saved.
To now insert the list/label into the text, click on Insert.
TextMaker grabs the fields from the database and inserts them into the document as
plain text according to the mask you specified – record for record. You can now
save the document, send it to the printer with File > Print, etc.
