Preparing the Recordfor Merge Printing The WP application allows you to prepare master documents that contain merge symbols associated with a label number (see "Creating a Document with Merge Symbols" on page 87). When you print such a master document, you will get as many copies as you have "active" records in the Address Book file (see below to learn how to make a record active or inactive). In the first copy, the word proces- sor will merge the data of the first active record. In the second copy, the word pro- cessor will merge the data of the second active record, and so on. Each merge symbol in the master file will be automatically replaced with the data under the label specified by the merge symbol. For example, if you entered a merge symbol followed with "1" in the master document, that merge symbol will be replaced with the data under the first label of the Address Book file. When creating the master file, you should remember what kind of data you have in each column - or refer to a printout of the Address Book file. An asterisk (*) to the left of a record indicates that the record is active. You may select only particular records for merge printing. A new record is automatically active. To make a record inactive, press EZTAFTM . The asterisk of the selected record disappears. Pressing again will re-active the record. NOTE: The asterisks can also be used to select records that you want to print when you print the Address Book file (see "Printing the Current Address Book File" on page 167). tri Uuy) cc -I CC
