Estin, I don't know if this will help. Here are my findings on your question concerning printing from your database.
A template is a standard KeyWord text or Braille document that specifies the field layout that is to be used when database records are printed, embossed, copied, or merged into documents. Each database can have one or more templates, but each template only works with one database. For this reason, in selecting a template, you can only select templates associated with the current database. To avoid confusion caused by viewing templates that are associated with other databases, follow the suggestions below: 2. Create a separate folder for each database that holds the database and templates associated with that particular database. 3. Name each template clearly to easily identify with its associated database. For instance, for the database named Book Club Membership, the template to be used when composing subscription reminder letters, could be named Book Club Subscriptions. Note you will be provided with an error message if you accidently select a template that is not associated with the current database. The error message is "This template is associated with a different database, (name of database). Use anyway?". To select another template, type N. Refer to 10.9.2 Error! Reference source not found. for further details on how to create a template. To select a template for printing, you need to understand the difference between a database record and an printed page. A database record is a series of fields, whereas a printed page must have a specific format. So, to print database records, you must specify which fields you want to print, and how they should be arranged. This is defined by a template, which is a KeyWord document laid out with the required field names in the required arrangement. A template may also contain text and formatting information. There are two main template categories, namely Braille templates and text templates. Conversely to print records from the database, you would use a Text template. The convention used for naming templates, places the word "Braille" in front of the Braille templates. After you have selected the template, KeyBase displays, "Selection list for -- (and then whatever template you are printing from). This is the Selection List that you use in the Lookup Record option. It is used in the same way to select the records that you want printedddIf you want to print every record, press ENTER. However, you can select just those records you want to print. When you have set up the required search field, or fields, start the lookup by pressing ENTER. KeyBase displays the number of selected records, and prompts, "Print all selected records?" To do this, press Y. All the selected records are printed, and you are returned to the KeyBase menu. Alternatively, you have a further opportunity to choose from the selected records. To do this, press N, and you are presented with the first matching record. If you wish to print this record, press ENTER and this record is embossed. If you do not want to print this record, scan the list by pressing SPACE with dots 5-6, and press ENTER for each record that you wish to include.
