Print Template Wizards
There are two Print Template Wizards: one for a formal letter and one for a postcard.
Postcard
The Postcard Wizard lets you choose a page size and two background images, one for the front
and one for the back of the postcard.
When you click Finish, the Wizard creates:
l A Print context with one section in it, that has duplex printing (printing on both sides)
enabled. See "Printing on both sides" on page 174.
l Two Master Pages that each contain a background image. The first Master Page is
applied to the front of every page in the Print section. The second Master Page is applied
to the back of every page in the Print section. See "Master Pages" on page 187.
l
Scripts and selectors for variable data. The Scripts pane shows, for example, a script
called "first_name". This script replaces the text "@first_name@" on the front of the
postcard by the value of a field called "first_name" when you open a data set that has a
field with that name. See "Variable Data" on page 159.
l A script called Dynamic Front Image Sample. This script shows how to toggle the image
on the front page dynamically. See also "Write your own scripts" on page 195.
The Wizard opens the Print section, so that you can fill it with text and other elements; see
"Content elements" on page 72. It already has two Positoned Boxes on it: one on the front, for
text, and one on the back, for the address.
See "Print context" on page 172 and "Print sections" on page 175 for more information about
Print templates.
