You can also use the List Manager to store information
other than addresses. This information (for example, a list
of product numbers or video titles) can also be linked to a
variable text object or bar code object (for example, to
print a bar code label of every product number you carry).
To select multiple entries to print, click the first entry and
then CTRL+CLICK any additional entries you want to
select. To select a range of entries, click the first entry you
want and then SHIFT+CLICK the last entry in the range.
Refer to the Help for detailed information on this topic.
DYMO Label Software lets you create either address or
data list files. For address lists, the program automatically
sorts entries using the first line of the address. If this is a
person's name, it will sort by their last name. However, if
the first line is a company name, it will sort by the
company name. For data lists, the program automatically
sorts entries by the first few characters of each entry's first
line.
When you create a new file, you have the option of
importing addresses or data (for new address lists or data
list files, respectively) into the new file.
The program creates a new file with the specified name
and stores the file in the default list file directory. The
specified file name appears at the top of the List Manager
dialog box. The program appends the extension .dal
(DYMO address list), to the end of address list file names
and the extension .ddl (DYMO data list), to the end of data
list files.
If you have more than one address list or data list file, you
can open the one you want to use to create labels. Also, if
you want to import addresses or data into a file, you must
first open the file into which you want to import the
information.
To use an address or data list created in another
application, you must be able to export it to a Comma
Separated Values (CSV) file, with a
extension. For more information on how to import
addresses or data into the List Manager, see the Help.
