¡
15
•
Text prompt: The text prompt screen allows you to type single text
objects, create new text list objects, or use existing text list objects.
Creating a text list allows you to enter a list of text items that will be applied to the same text object in multiple documents. The text items you enter create a mini-database that prints a new document for each item in the list. If you want to create multiple documents from a previously saved text list, you can select the Use text list option in any Text prompt.
For example, if you had three text list items, one document would print for each item in the text list.
Note: You must press ENTER after each item in the list or the items will be treated as one text item.
When creating a text list, be sure to press
ENTER between items.

¡
Creating Documents With Templates
You can type your own pick list item and click Add to list to save the entry.
•
Pick list prompt: A pick list differs from a text list in that only one item
from the pick list is inserted into the text object. A pick list prompt allows you to select from several predetermined text items for insertion in the document. A pick list is developed when the template is created. You can choose from a pick list or type in your own text. If you type your own entries, you can save those entries to the current pick list. However, you cannot delete items from a pick list. Pick lists are arranged in alphabetical order which allows you to quickly and easily locate the desired text.
