One Media. You can see this on the Resources pane: expand the Media folder. Media 1
is the Virtual Stationery that you have selected in the Wizard. It is applied to all pages in
the Print section, as can be seen in the Sheet Configuration dialog. (To open this dialog,
expand the Contexts folder on the Resources pane; expand the Print folder and right-
click "Section 1"; then select Sheet Configuration.) See "Media" on page148.

Selectors for variable data, for example: @Recipient@. You will want to replace these by
the names of fields in your data. See "Variable Data" on page322.
The Wizard opens the Print section. You can add text and other elements; see "Content
elements" on page179.
The formal letter template already has an address on it. The address lines are paragraphs,
located in one cell in a table with the ID address-block-table. As the table has no borders, it is
initially invisible. The address lines will stick to the bottom of that cell, even when the address

brochure, voucher, letter, etc. The PDF is used as the background image of the Print section
(see "Using a PDF file as background image" on page132). Variable and personalized
elements, like a reseller address, voucher codes and so on, can be added in front of it (see
"Personalizing content" on page312 and "Variable Data" on page322).
By default, the PDF itself is added to the Image folder located in the Resources pane.
Uncheck the option Save with template if the PDF should not be imported in the template. If it
