In current versions, the Objectif Lune Printer Driver will naturally add a margin to the PDF
generated by this task. While this will be fixed in future versions, if your PDFis full bleed you will
not get the desired results using this option.
l A DOC(Word Document)file which is the result of the mail merge. This output is only available when
doing a mail merge.
Properties
General tab
l
Microsoft Word Document: Enter a Microsoft® Word® document or template, or click the browse
button to navigate to the location of the document. The supported extensions are: *.doc, *.docx, *.dot
and *.dotx.
l
Perform Mail Merge: Check when providing a Microsoft® Word® document or template configured for
mail merge.
l Use settings specified in document: Selected to instruct the task to use the connection string
and SQL statements stored in the DOC file. There is no guarantee that the database, connection
string or statement are still valid, especially if the DOC file was moved or sent to someone else.
l Use custom settings: Override the mail merge settings in the Microsoft® Word® document and
lets you specify your own.
l Connection String: The connection string to any ODBCdatabase supported by PReS
Workflow. You can use the Browse button to open an existing File DSN, or use the Database
Button to open the ODBCconnection interface.
l SQL Statement:An SQLstatement that is understood by the database you are using and that
will return a series of records that the Microsoft® Word® template is expecting. Note that no
validation is made on SQLstatements except if they are for Microsoft Access and Excel data
files. You can use the Test Connection button to test the SQLand connection string.
l Test connection: Checks if the Connection String and SQLStatement are valid, and if the
resulting recordset is understood by the Microsoft® Word® document. This is optional, though
highly recommended.
