Couldn't the solid text be a separate file, like you have a closing, this would be an opening.

Whatever you put in the template file is going to appear for every record. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <[email protected]> To: "Christopher Emery" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 7:52 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Wordprocessing Templet for DB or forms Yes, you do this by creating a keybase database with all fields (name, address, dob, payment, date seen, and so on). You then make a keyword file, inserting database fields as necessary, using the backspace-i command. A simple template for a <test> database with just a <text> field, might look like: This text is from my database: <text> where <text> is a field inserted using backspace-i. Then I could print records using that database's print option, selecting my template when prompted to do so. This will do what you are looking for. Again, I refer you to section 10.9 of the manual. If this sort of template system is not what you are looking for, please explain why it would not work. Thanks.
