l A Print context with one section in it; see "Print context" on page130 and "Print sections"
on page134.
l One empty Master Page. Master Pages are used for headers and footers, for images and
other elements that have to appear on more than one page, and for special elements like
tear-offs. See "Master Pages" on page153.
l
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 page157.
l
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 page341.
The Wizard opens the Print section. You can add text and other elements; see "Content
elements" on page189.
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
has fewer lines. See "Styling and formatting" on page286 to learn how to style elements.
Tip
Click the Edges button on the toolbar t emporarily adds a frame to certain elements on
the Design tab. These will not .Print or output.
PDF-based Print template
Tip
The quickest way to create a Print template based on a PDFfile is to right-click the PDF
file in the Windows Explorer and select Enhance with Connect.
The PDF-based Print template wizard creates a document from an existing PDF file: a
brochure, voucher, letter, etc. The PDF is used as the background image of the Print section
