To select the color the Show used cells option will use:
• Click on the Select Color button .
To set the font the Data Selector uses for all emulations except XML and PDF:
1. In the Data Selector, click the Selector Options tab.
2. Click Select Font.
3. In the Font dialog box, set the font you want PlanetPress Design to use to display the sample data file
in the Data Pane.
Font: Select the font you want to use to display the sample data file in the Data Pane.
Font style: Select a weight for the font.
Size: Select the point size for the font.
Sample: Displays a preview of the font selected in the Font box.
Script: Select the system-level encoding table you want to use for the font selected in the Font box.
The encoding tables available here are those available on the system on which you are running
PlanetPress Design, and are distinct from those available when you create a style. While you can edit
the encoding table a style uses, you cannot edit the system-level encoding table. If you see
discrepancies between the glyphs that represent your sample data file in the Data Pane and those that
appear in the data selections on the document page, the source of the discrepancy may be the encoding
tables.
4. Click OK.
7.4.2 Associate a Sample Data File with a Document
This procedure describes how to associate a sample data file with your document using either the Data
Selector or the Data Pane of the Program window. Recall that you can set the font the Data Pane uses to
display the sample data. See Use the Data Selector (Page 75).
Recall that if your document uses a database emulation, you create a sample data file and associate it with
the document when you configure the database emulation. See Set Up a Database Emulation (Page 80).
To associate a sample data file with your document:
• Do any of the following to associate a sample data file with your document:
▪ In the Data Selector, click the Browse button to the right of the Sample data file box to browse
and select a sample data file.
▪ In the Data Selector, in the Sample data file box, enter the path of the new sample data file and
either press ENTER, or click outside the Sample data file box.
▪ In Windows, select the sample data file, and drag and drop it into any of the following areas of the
PlanetPress Design Program window: the Structure area, the Page area, the Data Pane, or, if the
Object Inspector is displaying an image resource, the Object Inspector.
PlanetPress Design makes a copy of the sample data file and stores it with the document. The
Sample data file box displays the path of the sample data file and the first data page of the
sample data file appears in the Data Pane.
If you dragged and dropped the file into the Program window, and the filename extension of that
file is not among those listed below, PlanetPress Design opens the Data Selector, and displays the
contents of the file using a line printer emulation. You can then select the emulation you want the
document to use with that data file.
File name extension: Emulation:
csv CSV
dat, txt Line printer
db, dbf, mdb Database
