Document Merge Data
-
You can not create merge fields in a PDF
document. Only Word Format is supported.
-
There can be no filters on the data list of a merge
document.
-
Merge field names in a document should exactly match
the corresponding merge data names in a mail list.
-
TEST YOUR MERGE PRIOR TO UPLOADING, AND
REVIEW EACH RESULTING DOCUMENT.
-
Variations in your merge data may greatly
affect the pagination of any document. The
following identifies two ways that this may happen,
although there are several.
-
If you do not take into account the greatest
number of characters for the merge data elements
when composing your document, the page length of
your document may change when the merge is
performed.
-
If you create an address merge field in your
document for which you do not have associated
address merge data in all addresses in your mail
list (e.g., a second address line), those
addresses will print using fewer lines in your
document.
-
Word Documents: If you are
uploading a merge document with graphics and/or text
boxes, de-select the "Move object with text" option
for each graphic/text box in your document.
After selecting a graphic/text box: from the
toolbar menu, select Format,
followed by Picture or Text Box,
depending on the object selected. (The format
menu is also available by right-clicking after
selecting the object.) Select the Position
tab. De-select the Move
object with text option so that the check
box is empty. In some cases, the selection of
this option does not affect your document
upload. Be sure to view your document prior to
placing your order.
-
When you create merge fields in a document using
your application merge tool, the application embeds
code in your document. The code displays in the form
of one or more text phrases that represent your
merge fields. You may NOT make manual edits to this
text because any changes will contradict the
underlying merge code and corrupt the merge process.
If you need to edit a merge field, you must delete
and re-create it using the merge feature provided by
your application.
Document Margins
-
The minimum size for left, top, and bottom margins
of a document is 0.50 inch each.
-
The minimum size for the right margin of a document
is 0.50 inch.
-
Your document name should not include the ampersand
"&" symbol. If so, please rename your file
without the ampersand "&" sign.
