Using a Layout and/or Text Field that are Already Configured for Merging
■ Using a Merge Sample Layout
The program comes with sample layouts with text fields configured for
merging inserted.
1 On the Merge (M) menu, click Use Sample (S)....

This displays the file selection screen.
2 Click the name of the layout (file) that you want to open and then
click OK.

This displays an editing screen with the layout you selected.

The initial default input is fictitious. Any resemblance to real
persons, living or dead, organization, etc. is purely coincidental.
■ Using a Merge Text Box
You can use the procedure below to insert a text field already configured
for merging into a layout.
1 On the Merge (M) menu, click Text Box (T).

This insets a text field already configured for merging into the
layout.

The text that appears in the text box is the name of the first item in
the merge database (Item 1 if no merge data has been created yet).
Previewing Merge Results

You can use the procedure below to preview what the layout will look
like when printed as data is merged into it.

You need to configure the merge settings before previewing merge results.

For information about merge settings, see "Configuring Field Merge
Settings" (page 50).

Merge preview and merge printing are not supported when the field
configured for merging is grouped with other fields (Group, pages 18, 21).
Ungroup the fields (UnGroup) before using these functions.
1 On the Merge (M) menu, click Merge Preview (V)....
2 Use the Record Number (R) box to input the sequential number of
the record whose result you want to preview.

The content of the record you specify will be displayed inside the
merge print text field.
You can preview other records by changing the record number.
