Tip
Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to
select an element.
Use the Attributes pane at the right to see the current element's ID, class and some other
properties.
Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the
currently selected element.
Print Template Wizards
There are three Print Template wizards: one for a formal letter, one for a postcard and one for a
Print template based on a PDF that you provide.
Postcard
The Postcard Wizard lets you choose a page size and two background images, one for the front
and one for the back of the postcard.
When you click Finish, the Wizard creates:
l A Print context with one section in it, that has duplex printing (printing on both sides)
enabled. See "Printing on both sides" on page306.
l Two Master Pages that each contain a background image. The first Master Page is
applied to the front of every page in the Print section. The second Master Page is applied
to the back of every page in the Print section. See "Master Pages" on page322.
l
Scripts and selectors for variable data. The Scripts pane shows, for example, a script
called "first_name". This script replaces the text "@first_name@" on the front of the
postcard by the value of a field called "first_name" when you open a data set that has a
field with that name. See "Variable Data" on page534.
l A script called Dynamic Front Image Sample. This script shows how to toggle the image
on the front page dynamically. See also "Writing your own scripts" on page552.
l One empty Media. Media, also called Virtual Stationery, can be applied to all pages in the
Print section. See "Media" on page325.
