18.1.3 Embossing Records.
You may want to emboss a name and membership number, or a selection of records, to create
membership cards for your Blind Cricket Club members. From the KeyBase menu select
"Emboss Records". KeySoft prompts: "Emboss or Set up embosser?"
If you haven't previously set up the embosser, press S. The set up procedure is covered in 6.7 The
Embosser Set-up List.
To proceed with embossing, press E, and KeySoft prompts: "Template name"?
A template is a standard KeyWord text or Braille document that specifies the field layout that is to
be used when database records are printed, embossed, copied, or merged into documents.
Each database can have one or more templates, but each template only works with one database.
For this reason, in selecting a template, you can only select templates associated with the current
database.
To avoid confusion caused by viewing templates that are associated with other databases, follow the
suggestions below:
1. Create a separate folder for each database that holds the database and templates associated with
that particular database.
2. Name each template clearly to easily identify with its associated database. For instance, for the
database named Book Club Membership, the template to be used when composing subscription
reminder letters, could be named Book Club Subscriptions.
