Editing Documents

Working with Address Fields

To add an address field to your document, choose Insert > Address Field in the menu.

The program automatically populates address fields in your document with information imported from Contacts. If you select several contacts, the program will work in the merge printing mode when it prints several copies of the design, one per selected contact.

While you are editing the document, address fields display their names. The actual data will be inserted into the fields during printing. So, to preview your document with contact details, you should use the preview in the Print dialog.

Address fields can be placed anywhere on the page. Yet, if you want to create an address out of several fields, it is recommended that you place them inside a text box. In this way, your address will behave as a solid object. To draw a text box, just use the Text Box tool from the toolbar. Then, while the cursor is in the text box, add address fields. Don't forget about adding spaces between fields. In fact, you can type any text here, for instance, add "Phone:" before the phone number. Note that regular text like this is not dynamic which means that the "Phone" word will remain even if a contact doesn't have any phone number.

To change the text formatting, use the Text tab of the Inspector.
