Number of repeats: Enter the number of times you want to repeat the object or group along the
horizontal axis.
Space between each repeat: Enter the amount of space to leave between each repeat of the object
or group, along the horizontal axis.
Vertically
Number of repeat: Enter the number of times you want to repeat the object or group along the
vertical axis.
Space between each repeat: Enter the amount of space to leave between each repeat of the object
or group, along the vertical axis.

Create a table: Select this checkbox to have PlanetPress Design use the values you enter in the
Number of repeat boxes to create a table rather than a single row and/or column. The number of
horizontal repeats, plus one for the source object, becomes the number of rows in the table. The
number of vertical repeats, plus one for the source object, becomes the number of columns in the table.
The total number of cells in the table is equal to the number of rows times the number of columns.
5. Click OK.
To repeat an object or group using a Line repeat:
1. In the Structure area or the Page area, double-click the object or group.
2. In the properties dialog box, click Repeat.
3. In the Repeat mode list, select Line repeat.
4. Set the Line repeat properties.
From/to line: Enter the range of lines on the data page you want PlanetPress Design to use to create
the structure, or click the Data Selector button to use the Data Selector to select the range. This
property determines the number of copies the resulting structure contains.
Repeat choice: Select the axis or axes along which PlanetPress Design repeats the source object or
group. Select Horizontal to create the repeats along the horizontal axis, starting to the right of the
source object or group and progressing towards the right. Select Vertical to create the repeats along the
vertical axis (a column), starting below the source object or group, and progressing towards the bottom
of the document page. If you select Horizontal only, or Vertical only, you use the Horizontal
displacement or Vertical displacement boxes, respectively, to set the horizontal or vertical distances to
leave between each repeat. Select Both horizontal first to create the repeats along both the horizontal
and vertical axis, starting with repeats along the horizontal axis first (a table, constructed row by row).
Use the Iterations per row/column box to set the number of repeats in each row. Select Both vertical
first to create the repeats along both the horizontal and vertical axis, starting with repeats along the
vertical axis first. Use the Iterations per row/column box to set the number of repeats in each column. If
you select either Both horizontal first, or Both vertical first, you use the Horizontal displacement box to
set the horizontal distance between each of the columns in the table, and the Vertical displacement box
to set the vertical distance between each of the rows in the table.
Condition to Exit and Overflow: Use this condition to manage data overflow. Set it the to number of
iterations after which this object should stop processing data from the current data page. When this
condition becomes true, PlanetPress Design executes the remaining objects in the page and repeats the
page until all the remaining data has been processed. Set it by equating the condition with the
&iteration count variable and with the maximum number of lines that the object can process. If the
object can be used to print 15 lines of data from a statement, for instance, enter
=&iterationcount>=15
.
Horizontal displacement: Enter the amount of space between each repeat of the source object or
group, along the horizontal axis.
Vertical displacement: Enter the amount of space between each repeat of the source object or group,
along the vertical axis.
Iterations per row/column: Enter the number of repeats in each row (if you selected Both horizontal
first in Repeat choice) or in each column (if you selected Both vertical first in Repeat choice). This option
is available only when you select either Both horizontal first, or Both vertical first in Repeat choice.
DATA SELECTION CHANGE ACCORDING TO CURRENT LINE: Select to have PlanetPress Design
change the From and To line properties of all data selections in the source object or group, to
&current.line. Because PlanetPress Design advances to the next line of the data file for each line
repeat, each repeat references a new line. IMPORTANT! The only way to undo the effect of this property
once you select it is to manually edit each of the From and To line properties of all data selections in the
source object or group. Clear this option to leave the From and To line properties of all data selections in
the source object or group, untouched. In this case, if necessary, you manually edit the From and To
