% MERGE LETTER MODEL, merges address list with letter
\input mergetxt.texinput % READ TEXT1 merge file format instructions
%
% Select special fonts and setting markup used
% in the merge process here:
%
\selectfontset{cm18}{titlefont}{default} % special letter heading font
\titlepageformat{\titleleadskip{0in}} % no initial skip for letters
%
% Run TEXT1 against a file on your disk that includes
% this model. A set of five sample letters will be printed. The
% sample letter describes the mail merge setup. Once you have
% run the model and read the letter, make the necessary
% modifications to your file. Set the address field names of
% your address file in the "\fieldnames{name, name, ...}"
% markup with the data field names of your data base file.
% Create the "shell letter," your letter, which includes the
% address field names of your data file, preceded by a "\",
% i.e., \namea, \nameb, etc. You need use only those data
% fields necessary in the document and address label, but all
% fields in your data base file must be given in the field
% names markup. Specify the name of your letter file
% "shell letter" with the "\documentfilename{fn.ft}" markup;
% specify the address data file with the "\addressfile{...}"
% markup; and then PRINT the file containing your letter merge
% model to merge the address file with the shell letter and
% print the label sheet.
%
% NOTE: If you create an address file by hand remove the percent sign
% before the datacheck MARKUP. The number of the letter from the
% beginning of the merge file data base and the first and last
% data fields will be listed on the screen and in the log file
% when data check is active. This will aid you in finding any
% errors in your data file.
%
%\datacheck % SET DATACHECK by removing the "%" symbol
%
% Give all data field names in sequence of occurrence
% (address list names)
%
% Format: \fieldnames{name1, name2, name3, ..., namelast}
\fieldnames{title, firstname, lastname, company, address, city,
state, zipcode, phone, amount}
% Give file name for document text (letter file that includes
% the field names for the replaceable text in the document)
%
% Format: \documentfilename{filename.filetype}
\documentfilename{mergelet.texmodel}
% WARNING!
% If you want to modify the address label format, then the
% \addresslabelformat markup MUST come prior to the
% \datafilename markup.
%
% Format: \addresslabelformat{all fields and markup to create label}
\addresslabelformat{\noindent\title\ \firstname\ \lastname\lbr
\company\lbr
\address\lbr
\city, \state\quad\zipcode}
% Now specify where the address data file is located with
% the \datafilename markup.
%
% Format: \datafilename{filename.filetype}
\datafilename{mergelst.texmodel}
% PRINTING A MAILING LABEL SHEET
%
% You may use the "\maillabelformat{}" markup to change
% the default label format markup. The default label format
% prints three inch-high labels across the page which can be
% copied onto a label sheet with an appropriate copy machine.
%
% WARNING!
% The \maillabelformat{} markup must be placed BEFORE the
% \printlabels markup to change the system defaults.
%
% Select the font setto be used in printing the labels.
\tenpt % prints labels with computer modern ten point
\printlabels % print address label sheet for Xerox label sheet
% Labels will be printed beginning on page 99.
%
% WARNING!
% If you have an empty data field occurs in the data being
% processed within the \addresslabelformat, the field will
% be printed as a blank space or as a blank line if the
% field is by itself on the line.
