To do so, export (save) the AppleWorks document as a DIF document, and then import (open) the DIF document with FileMaker Pro. When you import a FileMaker Pro or AppleWorks database document from the DIF format, the field names are preserved. Printing a database document You print a database document in Browse, List, or Layout mode. In Browse or List mode, the Print dialog box gives you the option of printing the current record or all visible records. Printing labels In the Help index,* see: E mailing labels You can print labels on continuous sheets or on individual sheets of label stock. Before printing labels on label stock, make one or more trial printouts on plain paper to make sure that the spacing is correct and all the text prints within the label boundaries. You may have to make the fields in the layout slightly smaller to fit within the label. AppleWorks sets the layout margins automatically when you use a preset Avery label layout. If you print custom labels on a laser printer, you must set the layout margins yourself. For more information, see "Setting margins" on page 3-17. Closing up space when you print In the Help index,* see: E printing, labels When you print labels, unused spaces created by blank fields are closed up and don't print. When you print from any other layout, field data is preset to print as it appears on the screen. To change the layout of the data when it prints, choose Edit Layouts from the Layout menu. Select a layout from the Current Layouts list, and then click Modify. In the Layout Info dialog box, select the settings you want, and then click OK. You can control the number of columns and close up unused spaces to the left of or above fields. Your settings apply to the entire layout, and not to just the selected fields. * Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from the list and click Go To Topic.
