Using print merge
Corel DESIGNER lets you combine text from a data source with a drawing. When you merge documents, you can produce several different
copies of a drawing. You can use merged documents to create personalized documents, such as mailing lists, questionnaires, and targeted
marketing documents, where each printed document contains specific information from a record in a data source, such as a text file or an
ODBC data source (a Microsoft Excel or Microsoft® Access™ file).
When you merge documents, you create a form document in Corel DESIGNER and combine it with a data source. A form document
provides the pattern and layout for a merged document. A data source supplies information for a drawing during the merge. Corel
DESIGNER supports the following data source files: Text (TXT) files, comma-separated values (CSV) files, Rich Text Format (RTF) files, and files
that can be opened by means of an ODBC data source.
Data source document (1), form document (2), and merged documents (3)
Creating a data source file
Information in a data source file is organized into fields and records. A field can contain one or more characters. Fields can contain
alphanumeric data or only numeric data. For example, a record may include a first name, last name, address, and other contact information.
Each item within the record, such as first name, last name, or address, is recognized as a field. A record can contain one or more fields.
You can create a data source file or import an existing one. You can create a data text file by using Corel DESIGNER or a text editor. You can
edit the data in a data source file at any time.
Creating a form document
Creating form documents is similar to creating regular drawings. For form documents, however, you insert merge fields, which are replaced
by information from the data source during the merge.
Associating a form document with a data source file
When you use Corel DESIGNER to create a data file, or when you import an existing data file into Corel DESIGNER, the data file is associated
with the form document. The association is always stored with the document and cannot be changed.
