l Lines per inch: Set the lines per inch for the data selection object. This makes sense only for data selection objects
that contain two or more lines, or two or more records in the case of a database emulation.
l Alignment: Align the data selection within the data selection object, as well as the data selection object itself. The
alignment of the data selection object is with respect to the Left position setting. For example, if Left=3.5000, and you
select a Right alignment, PlanetPress Design aligns the data selection on the right edge of the object and aligns the
right edge of the object to 3.5000.
l Trim leading spaces: Remove any ASCII space characters that appear before the data in the data selection.
l Trim trailing spaces: Remove any ASCII space characters that appear after the data in the data selection.
Lines
l Text before each line: Enter any text you want to appear in the document before each line of the data selection. For
example, if the data selection is lines 32 through 34, and you enter the string “ITEM:” in this text box, ITEM: appears
three times in the document: before the data on line 32, before the data on line 33, and before the data on line 34. You
can enter either text or a PlanetPress Talk expression that resolves to a text string in this box.
l Text after each line: Enter any text you want to appear in the document after each line of the data selection. For
example, if the data selection is lines 20 through 22, and you enter the string “SHIPPED” in this text box, SHIPPED
appears three times in the document: after the data on line 20, after the data on line 21, and after the data on line 22.
You can enter either text, or a PlanetPress Talk expression that resolves to a text string, in this box.
l On empty lines: Use to control how the document treats lines that do not contain data.
l Select Do not skip to have the document display a blank line when it encounters an empty line in the data
selection.
l Select Skip completely empty line to have the document ignore empty lines in the data selection. No blank
line appears in the document in this case.
l Select Skip empty region to have the document ignore the line when the portion of the line included in the
data selection is empty. No blank line appears in the document in this case. In Custom data selections, Skip
empty region is equivalent to Skip completely empty line.
l Line condition:Set the line condition, if any, that you want to apply to the data selection.
l Select No line condition if you do not want to set a line condition on this data selection.
l Select When text is present, When text is absent or When advanced condition is true to create
conditions for each line. See Create or Remove a Line Condition.

The indexing information in this section is useful for integrating PlanetPress Design in a workflow that uses PlanetPress Image,
PlanetPress Fax or PlanetPress Search. For more information on PlanetPress Fax and PlanetPress Image, see the PlanetPress
Workflow Tools User Guide. For more information on PlanetPress Search, see the PlanetPress Search User Guide.
l PlanetPress Image options group
l PDF bookmark: Select to have PlanetPress Image use this data selection as a bookmark in the PDF file it gen-
erates for this document.
l Index: Select to use this data selection as an index term in PlanetPress Search. The name of the index term is
the one you specify in the Name box, and its value is the value of the data selection you specify in the Data prop-
erties of the data selection object. PlanetPress Image uses this information to generate the .PDI file it creates for
each PDF file it creates. The default length for the value of the index term in the PlanetPress Search database is
the length of the data selection. The length of the data selection is its length after PlanetPress Design applies the
settings of the Trim leading spaces and Trim trailing spaces boxes in the Data properties of the data selection
object. If you have two or more data selection objects that provide values for the same index term, PlanetPress
Design sets the length to that of the longest of the data selections.
