SmartAddresser 5first,lastaddresscity,st,zipNotice that there are no spaces between the field names, only a comma. This methodwill also remove any extra spaces that would normally be present using the third option,without all the complicated expression syntax that it would normally require.Option 3: "ALLTRIM" method - The "Alltrim" method allows you to use the threeprimary functions (ALLTRIM or ALLT for Character fields, STR for Numeric Fields, andDTOC for Date fields) in conjunction with plus signs to combine fields. Between fields,you'll want to put any static text in between quotation marks to avoid the two fieldsprinting right next to each other with no space separating them. Examples of "Alltrim"method expressions would be:ALLT(first)+" "+ALLT(last)OrALLT(first),ALLT(last)ALLT(address)ALLT(city)+" "+ALLT(st)+" "+ALLT(zip)or ALLT(city),ALLT(st),ALLT(zip)That's a lot of information to process, we know! However, most users will find that the"Field,Field" method works most of the time for the standard list. Simply create theReport Expression window using the steps provided at the beginning of this topic, andthen fill in the Expression box with the field names that you want to print, separated bycommas with no spaces. In addition, if you simply added the fields together using the"az" or "Alltrim" method expressions, then the field in its entirety would be printed--notjust the content inside. In short, this means that if you had a name that was 10characters long in a 50 character field, you'd have your 10 characters of information,followed by 40 empty spaces. The "az", "Alltrim", and "Field,Field" methods all trim thefields to print just the content and leave out the leading and trailing spaces.TIP!Create one label line with the "Add Field" button . Once you createthe expression, click the OK button to return to the Label Designer. Thecreated line will still be active, indicated by the black dots on the corners,sides, top, and bottom. You can now use the Windows shortcuts for Copy(CTRL+C) and Paste (CTRL+V) to duplicate the line. Drag the newlycreated duplicate line into position by clicking and dragging the mousebutton. If the snap to grid option is on, and you find the box jumpingaround as you drag (and not moving smoothly), you can hold the CTRLkey on your keyboard to temporarily disable the grid. Once the new lineis placed in the desired location, simply double click it to bring up the162
