l
From and To: Enter a vertical search region defined as starting from a given line
and ending at a given line. If you enter 1 in the From box and 1 in the To box, the Gen-
eric Splitter will search for the string of characters entered above only in the first line
of every page. If you enter 1 in the From box and 10 in the To box, the Generic Split-
ter will search in the ten first lines of every page. Note that the actual search region is
a combination of the vertical and horizontal search regions.

From and To: Enter a horizontal search region defined as starting from a given
column and ending at a given column. If you enter 1 in the From box and 5 in the To

column (five first characters of every line selected above).
l
Consider case: Select to force the Generic Splitter to match the character casing of
the string of characters entered above with the characters found in the file. If this
option is selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be considered as matching the search
string “day”.

l
Pages: Enter exactly where to split the file. Enter 1 to split the file 1 page before or
after the string, 2 to split the file 2 pages before or after the string, or 0 to split the file
immediately before or after the string.

the file, here is where you specify whether you want the split before or after.

Split when word found: You may not want to split the file every time the string of char-
acters entered above is found, but only every other time, or every third time. If so, enter the
number of times in this box.
