Note
Looking for text in a text is a less optimized operation and may impact output speeds in
longer documents. To speed up the output process, put the placeholder(s) in a Box or
Span (see "Boxes" on page432), give that Box or Span an ID and use that ID as the
script's selector. See "Using the Text Script Wizard" below for an explanation about the
various types of selectors. For more tips to make a template generate output faster, see
"Optimizing scripts" on page539.
Using the Text Script Wizard
The Text Script Wizard can insert one or more data fields into your template, each with an
optional prefix and suffix. It is recommended to use the Text Script Wizard for blocks of data,
such as address blocks, and when data fields can be empty or need to be formatted differently.
1. Create a new text script and open the Text Script Wizard. There are two ways to do this:
l
On the Scripts pane at the bottom left, click the black triangle on the New button
and click New Text Script. A new script appears in the list. Double-click the new
script to open it.
l Select a word in the content. Right-click the selection and on the shortcut menu,
choose Text Script.
The Text Script Wizard appears.
2. Change the name of the script to make clear what it does.
3.
The selector states the text to be found in the template. The results can be replaced by
the script.
Tip
Hover over the name of a script in the Scripts pane to highlight parts of the template
that are affected by the script.
l
Text, for example: @lastname@, or {sender}. The text doesn't have to have any
special characters, but special characters do make it easier to recognize the text for
yourself. In the Text Script Wizard, click Text and type the text to find.
