DYMO Corp. 44 Commerce Road Stamford, CT 06902 Esselte 48 South Service Road Melville, NY 11471 Text File Many programs can create a text file, such as a Text Editing program, exporting from a database application, and so on. When you export text from a database, you usually create a delimited file with each entry separated by comma or tab characters and a carriage return/line feed at the end of each entry. Smart Paste recognizes the delimiter characters and will insert a line break on the label. When a comma is used as a delimiter, make sure any commas that you want to print on the label are enclosed in quotation marks. The carriage return/line feed will start a new label. NOTE The separator character may be different for countries other than the US. When using Smart Paste, the list separator character is based on the Windows language being used. For example, the following lines of text (delimited using commas): DYMO Corp., 44 Commerce Road, "Stamford, CT 06902" Esselte, 48 South Service Road,"Melville, NY 11471" will print two three-line labels: one for DYMO and one for Esselte.
