Creating fields for a Certificate - 7/28/2016 9:37:47 AM    Woodlands   Posts: 1 Joined: 7/28/2016 Status: offline This is my first time using PrintMaster7. I am trying to create a birth certificate template for animal breeding. The template needs to have fields that will be populated with the variable information, ie., Name, Sex, DOB, etc. How do I create a template that designates those fields as "variable"? How do I add the variable information in the correct field, and can each field have different fonts, color, and type size? Post #: 1

You can record all the data in one book, then the data from the book can be merged into fields on your certificate project. Essentially you are doing a "repurposed" Address Book and Mail Merge. A simpler way (but you don't get the benefit of having an organized file of data to mail merge) is to just create your template with a separate text box for each field. Each time you want to print a certificate, you just edit the text boxes. (in reply to Woodlands) Post #: 2

Each time I need to print a new certificate, I can open my project and change the name, sex, and DOB. Attachment (1) (in reply to Woodlands) Post #: 3

For example, I use the Address1 field for the date of birth. In my project, I insert the Address1 field where I want date of birth to print. Attachment (1) (in reply to Woodlands) Post #: 4
