Product Selection:

In this mask you select the Zweckform template to be printed out. In order to do this, you must first of all decide whether you want to print out

•	Inkjet+Laser+Copier Labels A4
•	Inkjet+Laser+Copier Labels A5
•	Fanfold Computer Labels or
•	Design + Print Card Products.

In the table below appear the respective articles for the selected product group. The currently selected article number is shown in reverse and appears at the same time in the mask’s preview window. Using the vertical scroll strip you can display all the article numbers for the selected product group. If you would like to have the articles for the selected product group sorted according to article number, name or size, in ascending or descending order, you simply have to click once or twice on the relevant fields <Art.No.>, <Name> or <Size> and the information is sorted accordingly.

If you have found the desired article number in the table, select this for processing either by double-clicking directly on the article number or by clicking once on the article number and calling up the next mask with <Continue>.

Detailed information on the Zweckform Perfect Printout products can be obtained in the Assistant’s start mask. Click there on the field <Products> and you automatically switch to Zweckform’s Perfect Printout product catalogue.

•	All labels or cards with the same text

•	Labels or cards with different text

All Labels or Cards with the same Text:

In order to produce a sheet of paper with the same labels or cards, you must proceed as follows:

•	Enter the desired label or card text in the label field. The maximum label text area is shown by the white vertical and horizontal bars above the input window. You can format the text by using the icons arranged above it. Alternatively, you can also activate the individual mask functions by combinations of keys. Further details on this can be found at the end of this help mask.
As well as inputting text, you can also incorporate word-field functions (e.g. for graphics). For this you must position the cursor on the desired part of the label and click on the relevant icon {a}. Then select the required field function and set the other parameters for the respective field function.
An example: You would like to insert a graphics with the name ‚Logo.bmp‘ at the current cursor position and this graphics file is to be found on your hard disk ‚C‘ in the ‚Bitmaps‘ subdirectory. Activate the word-field function via the icon {a} and enter the following in the dialogue field: INSERTGRAPHICS “C:\\Bitmaps\\Logo.bmp”
Confirm this input with OK and you will obtain at the selected cursor position a dummy for the field function. When you later complete the work with the Assistant with the field <Complete> and return to Word, the field function will be performed, that is the graphics appears on the screen. 

•	If the layout of the label or card has been completed, set the start position for the printing job in the page viewing function. The present start position is shown underlined in blue. If you want to alter the start position, you simply have to click on a label other than the selected one.

•	Below the sheet displayed in the viewing function, you can determine how often the label or card is to be produced.

•	Before you complete the work with the Assistant with the field <Complete> and return to Word, we recommend you check the layout in advance on <Preview>. If you want to switch back to the Assistant from the Word Preview, you must click on the Word field <Close> and the last Assistant mask to be opened will reappear on the screen.

Click on <Close> to close this help mask and return to the Assistant.

Labels or Cards with Different Text:

If you want to print the labels or cards on a sheet of paper with different text, you must proceed as follows:

•	Select in the page preview the first label to be printed by clicking on it with the mouse. This will be shown underlined in blue.

•	Enter the desired label or card text in the left label field. The maximum label text area is shown by the white vertical and horizontal bars above the input window. You can format the text by using the icons arranged above it. Alternatively, you can activate the individual mask functions by combinations of keys. Please obtain further details of the key combinations from the help mask for identical labels.
As well as inputting text, you can also incorporate word-field functions (e.g. for graphics). For this you must position the cursor on the desired part of the label and click on the relevant icon {a}. Then select the required field function and set the other parameters for the respective field function.
An example: You would like to add a graphics with the name ‚Logo.bmp‘ at the current cursor position and this graphics file is to be found on your hard disk ‚C‘ in the ‚Bitmaps‘ subdirectory. Activate the Word Field Function via the icon {a} and enter the following in the dialogue field: INSERTGRAPHICS “C:\\Bitmaps\\Logo.bmp”
Confirm this input with OK and you will get on the selected cursor position a dummy for the field function. When you later complete the work with the Assistant with the field <Complete> and return to Word, the field function will be performed, that is the graphics appears on the screen. 

•	If the layout of the first label has been completed, you can switch to the next label by clicking on it once in the page preview. This will there upon be shown as underlined in blue and the previously captioned label underlined in grey. A simple click of the mouse on the label underlined in grey (i.e. the already formatted label) is sufficient to call it up once again for revision.

•	Not forgetting: With the Assistant you can also transfer or copy text already entered, or field functions already added inside one label, from one label to another . For this you must first of all mark with the mouse the text or field function to be transferred  and click on the icon for “Cut” or “Copy”.  Then switch to the position where you would like to add the marked text or field function and click on “Paste” to add the contents of the interim block to this position.

•	Before you complete the work with the Assistant with the field <Complete> and return to Word, we recommend you check the layout in advance on <Preview>.  If you want to switch back to the Assistant from the Word Preview, you must click on the Word field <Close> and the last Assistant mask to be opened will reappear on the screen.

[DataFileSave]
Compiling an Address List:

By using the third type of text entry “Compile new Address List” you can quickly and easily create your own address files.

For this you must, as the first step, define the name of the address list. Either enter the name directly into the dialogue field or click on the field <Search> and determine the file name and target file in the open dialogue box. If you select a file name which already exists, you will be asked whether the existing data are to be reused or whether a new address list is to be created under the selected file name. The latter causes your original addresses to be lost.  

With a view to allowing flexible usage of your address files, the address lists created with the Assistant will be stored as a Word merge file document. This enables you to access it at any time with the Assistant or directly with Word.

After you have selected the name for the address list you must click on  <Continue> to switch to the Assistant’s data input mask.

Input Mask for Address Lists:

Thanks to the preset address input mask, you can quickly and easily capture your addresses. For this you should observe the following:

If you have written in a data field (e.g. Name1), you can switch to the next data field (e.g. Name2) with the “Enter” or “Tab” keys.  If in the last data field ‚Email‘ you press the “Enter” key, a new data record appears on the screen and the input mask appears empty. Alternatively, a new data record can also be added at end-of-file by clicking on the field <New Address>.

If you would like to delete an existing address, you must first call up the address to be deleted onto the screen and then remove this by using the field <Delete>. In this way deleted addresses can no longer be retrieved.

The field <Restore> is useful if you want to cancel changes made to an address. 

If you have already entered several addresses and would like to search for a specific entry, you must click on <Search> and enter the search criteria as well as the search field in the open mask. After searching, the first data record which fulfils the search criteria will be displayed in the background.

The field <Data Source> is not used in the Zweckform Label Assistant.  You  should therefore not use this function.

After you have entered your addresses, click on <OK> to switch to the next Assistant mask.

Click on <Close> to close this help mask and return to the Assistant.

If you would like to remove a data field already selected for print, you must mark this data field in the right-hand label window and then remove it by pressing the ´Del´ key.

Before you complete the work with the Assistant with the field <Complete> and return to Word, we recommend you check the layout in advance on <Preview>. Here you can alternate between the field names and the data records via the Word Symbol <<ABC>>.
