page407.
l One Master Page. Master Pages are used for headers and footers, for images and other
elements that have to appear on more than one page, and for special elements like tear-
offs. See "Master Pages" on page425.

One Media. You can see this on the Resources pane: expand the Media folder. Media 1
is the Virtual Stationery that you have selected in the Wizard. It is applied to all pages in
the Print section, as can be seen in the Sheet Configuration dialog. (To open this dialog,
expand the Contexts folder on the Resources pane; expand the Print folder and right-
click "Section 1"; then select Sheet Configuration.) See "Media" on page428.

Selectors for variable data, for example: @Name@, @Amount@. You will want to
replace these by the names of actual fields in your data. See "Variable Data" on
page702.
The Wizard opens the Print section. You can add text and other elements; see "Content
elements" on page546. See "Styling and formatting" on page645 to learn how to style
elements..
Print context
The Print context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Print templates.
Print templates (also called Print sections), are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed directly to a printer or a printer stream/spool file, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print
output" on page1207).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page1227.
When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output
document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
Creating the Print context
You can start creating a Print template with a Wizard (see "Creating a Print template with a
Wizard" on page397), or add the Print context to an existing template (see "Adding a context"
on page390).
