May 26, 200421 yr Newbies Hi there - Fairly new to FM Forum but have used it in the past and you guys have been great in helping me understand where I was going wrong! My problem now is a 'letter' page written to clients that include certain fields from a 'main' overall page. Such as Dear 'John' thank you for your call . . . your quote is 'Quote 1' and the total cost is 'Cost1'. My problem is when I add the field 'client first name' how do I add a comma after his name?? Also when I have a 'project name' inserted and then need to insert another field such as 'on this date' how do I close both together without any gaps?? I've tried useing the 'slide' etc. but cannot get it to look like a personally written letter? Thanks in advance to anyone that can give me a glimmer or hope! [email protected] or
May 26, 200421 yr Instead of putting the fields on your layout and grouping it with text pieces, you can also use the "Insert Merge Field" command in layout mode: Just write your letter with the text tool and insert all the field contents directly in the text where you need them; in layout mode these values will look like the fieldnames in brackets (<<fieldname>>), but in Browse and Preview mode they are correct. It's kind of like working in word processing application
