<text><span class="style4">ata can be imported into Email Merge from four sources: text on the clipboard, a text file, the frontmost FileMaker Pro (3.0 or later) database or an exported Market Master file. To set up data importing, click the </span><span class="style3">Import Data</span><span class="style4"> button (top left).</span><span class="style5">Preparing the data for importing</span><span class="style4"></span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">If you are importing directly from </span><span class="style3">FileMaker Pro</span><span class="style4">, open the database you wish to import in FileMaker. Email Merge can import all the fields shown on the selected layout and all the records in the currently found set.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">If you are using </span><span class="style3">the clipboard</span><span class="style4">, simply copy the table you wish to import. This method will work with spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel and tables in word processors such as Microsoft Word and WordPerfect. Set the </span><span class="style3">First row is</span><span class="style4"> setting in Email Merge for the data you have copied – if the first row contains field names, click </span><span class="style3">Header</span><span class="style4">, otherwise click </span><span class="style3">Record</span><span class="style4">.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">If are using a </span><span class="style3">text file</span><span class="style4">, export the database from the program currently holding it. For example, in </span><span class="style3">Microsoft Excel</span><span class="style4">, choose </span><span class="style3">Save As…</span><span class="style4"> from the </span><span class="style3">File</span><span class="style4"> menu and specifying a format of </span><span class="style3">Text (tab delimited)</span><span class="style4"> for the file. Data can also be imported in comma-delimited text form. Set the </span><span class="style3">First row is</span><span class="style4"> setting in Email Merge for the file you have saved – if the first row of data contains field names, click </span><span class="style3">Header</span><span class="style4">, otherwise click </span><span class="style3">Record</span><span class="style4">.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">If are using </span><span class="style3">Market Master</span><span class="style4">, export the mail merge from within Market Master. For more information, contact that product’s documentation. The format for a Market Master export file is the message subject followed by a tab, followed by the message text, followed by a tab, followed by the recipient email, followed by an ASCII 255 character. This is repeated for each record. </span><span class="style5">Performing the importing</span><span class="style4"></span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">Before importing data, you may sample it by clicking the </span><span class="style3">Sample</span><span class="style4"> button and specifying the data source (only those currently available will be shown). Browse through the import sample by clicking the left and right arrows. Field names can also be changed at this early stage by clicking on the left-hand column.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">To actually import the data, click </span><span class="style3">Import</span><span class="style4">. If you have already sampled the data, the same will be imported, otherwise you will prompted for the data source. If the database is not empty, you will be asked whether to replace all previous records or keep them.</span></text>

<text><span class="style4">lick the </span><span class="style3">Edit Template</span><span class="style4"> button (top left) to bring up the email message template. The template contains several areas - some of these are made visible by clicking the three tabs at the top. The main area contains the text of the message itself.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">In any area of the template, a field placeholder in double-angle brackets (e.g. </span><span class="style3">«Product Code»</span><span class="style4">) may be used. This will be replaced with the contents of that field for each record in the database when performing the merge. Use the </span><span class="style3">Insert Field</span><span class="style4"> popup menu to insert a placeholder easily. In this menu, there are also built-in merge parameters which can be used.</span><span class="style5">Basics</span><span class="style4"></span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">The </span><span class="style3">Subject</span><span class="style4"> field contains the title of the message to be sent out.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">The </span><span class="style3">Email Client</span><span class="style4"> field allows one of the installed email client programs to be specified for merging. Usually, this can be left on </span><span class="style3">Ask on Sending</span><span class="style4">, however you may wish to specify a client to save time later or in order to get the list of available accounts for that client (see next paragraph).</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">The </span><span class="style3">Account</span><span class="style4"> field allows a specific account to be used for merging. (Note that neither QuickMail nor Emailer can be used with this feature.) Usually, this can be left on </span><span class="style3">Client’s Default</span><span class="style4"> to use whichever email account is set within the client program as default, however you may wish to send messages from a different account. Once the email client is specified, select </span><span class="style3">Get Account List…</span><span class="style4"> from the menu to get the list of available accounts in that client. A field in your database may also be used to allow each messages to be sent via different email accounts – to achieve this, select </span><span class="style3">Custom…</span><span class="style4"> from the menu and insert the database field into the area provided for the account name. It is recommended to verify messages before sending in order to ensure that all the account names exist in the client. If a message is created with an incorrect acccount name, Outlook Express, Entourage, Eudora and Mailsmith will send the message with the default account but PowerMail will simply fail to create the message altogether.</span><span class="style5">Recipients</span><span class="style4"></span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">Each message can have one recipient in each of the three categories. A </span><span class="style3">To</span><span class="style4"> recipient is one to which the message is directly addressed. A </span><span class="style3">Cc</span><span class="style4"> (‘carbon copy’) recipient appears as a secondary addressee and is otherwise identical to a To recipient. A </span><span class="style3">Bcc</span><span class="style4"> (‘blind carbon copy’) recipient is hidden from the sent message, so that no other recipient will be aware that they received a copy.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">Recipients can also be named by putting the name in brackets after the email address. For example, a recipient of </span><span class="style3">john@doe.com (John Doe)</span><span class="style4"> will be sent to the address john@doe.com with the name John Doe attached.</span><span class="style5">Attachments</span><span class="style4"></span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">An attachment is a separate file which is sent along with a message and which does not appear within the main message text. As for as possible, attached files should be in a standard format which is readable by all recipients, e.g. JPEG or PDF.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">The </span><span class="style3">Attachment File Paths</span><span class="style4"> field shows a list of all attachments currently being sent with the message. Click </span><span class="style3">Add…</span><span class="style4"> to select a file for attachment and </span><span class="style3">Remove…</span><span class="style4"> to remove an attachment. By default, in order to prevent accidental editing, file paths cannot be edited manually. However, if you wish to do so, perhaps to insert a field from the database into the file path, check </span><span class="style3">Editable File Paths</span><span class="style4">.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">All attachments need an encoding type which specifies how they should be attached to the message and they may also be sent using StuffIt compression. Not all email programs support StuffIt compression or all attachment encodings – when verifying or performing the merge, a warning will be issued if necessary.</span></text>

Browse through the messages by clicking the left and right arrows. The number of the record being used for the current message is shown below them.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">Some things to check for:</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">• Messages have at least one recipient under </span><span class="style3">To:</span><span class="style4">, </span><span class="style3">Cc:</span><span class="style4"> or </span><span class="style3">Bcc:</span><span class="style4">.• All </span><span class="style3">«field_name»</span><span class="style4"> placeholders are being correctly replaced.• The wrapping of the text in the message looks reasonable.</span><span class="style6"></span><span class="style4">To automatically verify most aspects of outgoing messages, click </span><span class="style3">Verify All</span><span class="style4">.
