How do I use my database file with SureThing?
To use the Merge feature in SureThing, you need to have a Windows Comma Delimited file that serves as your database file. Popular formats are .dbf or .csv. Open your design and click on the Text menu from the left hand panel. Choose “Create Text Frame” and delete any unwanted text information. Now, from the Insert Menu at the top of your screen, choose Insert Field. The Insert Field dialog box will open. Choose the “Merge Fields” tab. Now click on the “Set Merge File” button. This will launch the Set Merge File dialog box. Navigate to find your merge file, select it and choose OK. You should now be able to choose the fields you wish to insert from the fields list. Click OK when you are finished inserting fields. Click on the Print Preview button to view your design with the correct field inserted.
