Press Enter to insert a new paragraph.
l
Press Shift+Enter to insert a line break.
Alternatively, copy-paste text into a template, or use the Insert Lorem Ipsum toolbar button to
insert dummy text.
Text that precedes or follows the value of a data field can be added by the Text Script Wizard;
see "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page230.
Note: it is not possible to open a Word file in the Designer. When you copy text from a Word
document, however, basic style characteristics travel with the content to PrintShop Mail
ConnectDesigner. Formatting options like bold, italic and formats like Heading 1, Heading 2
are maintained.
Extra spaces
In HTML, extra spaces are generally removed. In Designer templates this is the same, because
they are HTML files. In some cases however, you want extra spaces to be shown in your
output. Read this how-to to learn how to maintain extra spaces in the text: Maintain extra
spaces in text.
Adding special characters
To add special characters:
1. Position the cursor where the character should be inserted.
2.
On the Insert menu, point to Special Characters click Symbols, Dashes and Spaces,
Arrows, or Geometric Shapes, and click one of the available special characters.
Adding page numbers
Page numbers can only be used in the Print context. See "Page numbers " on page83.
HTML element: p, h, li and others
When adding elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file; see "Editing HTML" on page119.
In HTML text can be contained in many different elements: paragraphs, span elements, line
items and table cells, for example.
