postcard by the value of a field called "first_name" when you open a data set that has a
field with that name. See "Variable Data" on page347.
l A script called Dynamic Front Image Sample. This script shows how to toggle the image
on the front page dynamically. See also "Writing your own scripts" on page389.
l One empty Media. Media, also called Virtual Stationery, can be applied to all pages in the
Print section. See "Media" on page155.
The Wizard opens the Print section, so that you can fill it with text and other elements; see
"Content elements" on page187. It already has two Positoned Boxes on it: one on the front, for
text, and one on the back, for the address.
See "Print context" on page128 and "Print sections" on page133 for more information about
Print templates.
Formal letter
The Formal Letter Wizard first lets you select the page settings, see "Page settings: size,
margins and bleed" on page144.
These settings are fairly self-explanatory, except perhaps these:
l Duplex means double-sided printing.
l The margins define where your text flow will go. The actual printable space on a page
depends on your printer.
l The bleed is the printable space around a page. It can be used on some printers to
ensure that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document. Printers that can’t
print a bleed, will misinterpret this setting. Set the bleed to zero to avoid this.
l The number of sections is the number of parts in the Print context. Although this Template
wizard can add multiple Print sections to the Print context, it will only add content to the
first section.
On the next settings page (click Next to go there), you can type a subject, the sender's name
and the sender's title. These will appear in the letter. You can also:
l Click the Browse button to select a signature image. This image will appear above the
sender's name and title.
l Select Virtual Stationery: a PDF file with the letterhead stationery. Also see Media.
When you click Finish, the Wizard creates:
