Place fields on the envelope |
In Available fields, double-click each field you want, in the order you want them to appear. To choose a field from another table, first choose the table from the list of tables, and then place the field. You can also create a new field or table by choosing Manage Database from the list of tables. |
|
Move a field to a new line |
In Envelope contents, click to place the insertion point before the field you want to move (before the angle bracket delimiters <<). Then press Enter or Return. |
|
Place text or punctuation between fields |
In Envelope contents, click where you want the text or punctuation, then type what you want. |
|
Remove a field from the envelope |
In Envelope contents, select the field name and the delimiters (<< and >>), then press Backspace or Delete. |
Important FileMaker Pro formats fields on an Envelope layout as merge fields. Merge fields are enclosed by double angle bracket delimiters (<< and >>). Make sure to select these brackets along with the field name if you move or delete a field name on the layout. Don't insert punctuation or other text inside the brackets unless it's part of the field name.
Notes
- You can't enter or edit data using merge fields; use another layout for that purpose.
