Data Import/Export
You can place data from an external source (external to LabelMark) on your labels. This data
can exist in a text file, a spreadsheet program, or an external database.
Adding External Data
To add external data to your labels:
1.
Choose Insert>External Data.
A wizard is launched.
If you have not added a text box or graphic element, when data is imported from a spreadsheet
or a database, the data will be placed at the top left of the label. If only one field is added, each
record is placed on a different label, at the top left corner of the label. If another field is added,
that field's data displays below the first field's data, slightly indented, one record per label.
Each additional field added displays the record data directly under the preceding field data,
slightly indented.
2.
For a quick import, click Do a quick import with minimal options radio button.
3.
Click Next.
4.
In the Select type of data source field, select the program type in which the data to be
imported is stored.
