2 On the first line, type the number of merge fields that you want to insert in the drawing. For example:
3
3 On the second line, type the names of the merge fields by separating them with a backslash. Each merge field must begin and end with
a backslash. For example:
\Name\\Date\\Instructor\
4 On the next lines, type the data that you want to appear in the merged document. Each line constitutes a record. For example:
\Pixie Parsons\\6 September 2007\\Mr. Randy Harris\
\Shirley Wilkinson\\13 January 2007\\Ms. Corinne Pitts\
5 Save the file as an ANSI text file (.txt extension) or as an RTF file.
Backslashes function as markers to indicate the beginning and end of merge fields; therefore, you cannot use them as data in fields.
Data in fields must end with a character. Blank spaces or lines before backslashes prevent the merge from being completed
successfully.
