Note
All settings in the Formatting dialog are in fact CSS style rules. Click the Advanced
button to manually add CSS properties (at the left) and values (at the right). For
more information about CSS, see "Styling and formatting" on page286.
It is also possible to change an element's formatting via a style sheet; see "Styling
templates with CSS files" on page287.

Same for all sides. This is equivalent to the padding property in CSS.
4. Set the value for the margin in measure or percentage. You can do this for each side
separately, which is equivalent to the margin-top, margin-bottom, margin-left or
margin-right property in CSS. To set the same margin for all sides, check the option

Click OK, or click Apply to apply the changes without closing the dialog.
Personalizing content
Variable-data printing is a form of digital printing in which elements such as text and graphics
may be changed using information from a database or data file. It prints unique documents with
customized messages for each customer. This is exactly what you can do with Connect: using
variable data you can personalize your company's communications (including but not limited to
printed matter).
Before you can start personalizing the content of a template, you must open a data file or
database; see: "Loading data" on page332.
The most common ways to personalize templates are listed below.
