From bottom to top: Select if you want the top of the object to move up or down, rather the bottom.
When the Skip Empty Lines option is selected, address blocks of different sizes may appear on
different documents at runtime. When the From bottom to top option is also selected, the bottom of
the postal address object always remains in the same position regardless of its size, it is the top of the
object that is stretched up or down.

9.2.3 Create Data Selections within Objects
To create a Contiguous data selection:
1. Open the properties dialog box for the object for which you want to create a data selection.
2. In the properties dialog box, click Data.
3. If the From and To boxes for lines and columns are not visible, clear Custom data selection.
4. Click the Data Selector button ( ) and select the data in the Data Selector to select the data.
5. Click OK.
6. Step through the sample data file if necessary to verify the data selection is accurate for the pages in
the sample data file.
To create a Custom data selection in the properties dialog box:
1. Open the properties dialog box for the object for which you want to create a data selection.
2. In the properties dialog box, click Data.
3. Select Custom data selection.
4. Create the data selection. You can enter the selection on a single line, or divide it over several lines. If
you create a complex data selection, breaking it up over several lines can make it more readable. When
you break a selection over several lines, for each line, you determine whether to terminate it with a
carriage return followed by a line feed (CRLF).
Enter a single line
You enter a single line of a Custom data selection as follows. Note that both the String to display lines
and the CRLF lines accept PlanetPress Talk expressions.
▪ In a line in the String to display column, enter the data selection.
▪ If necessary, click in the CRLF column, and indicate whether you want to include a CRLF at the
end of this line. You enter either true or false, or a PlanetPress Talk expression that evaluates to
true or false. If you enter true or false, you can subsequently double-click the value at any point
to invert it.
▪ If your data selection extends beyond this line, press ENTER to advance to the next line.
Navigate, Insert, delete, or reposition lines
▪ To navigate within the Custom data selection: Use either the mouse or the ARROW keys.
