6. Select the data file and click OK:

Select the ASCII text file, Excel™ or Lotus 1-2-3™ spreadsheet file, or Access™ database

file to import and click Open, or

If you are importing from a database other than Access, enter the necessary Other data source

information (see Importing Data From a Database).

7. In the Fields dialog, select your fields and mapping details and click OK:

Select the Table that contains the data you want to import.

Determine how you wish to put data on your label, by doing one of the following:

Have the data objects created for you (fills label top to bottom using order in the

Included list). Note: When you import data into a file based on a template, it fills the

objects from left to right and top to bottom.

Use existing objects (allows you to assign which field fills each label). If you select Use

existing objects as the Sort order for importing data, LabelMark Plus adds an Object

column to the Included list. If you selected the Use existing objects import option, map

each data field to the appropriate object on the label. Click the Object assigned to the

field and select the desired object to import the field into from the list that appears.

Note: The Use existing objects option is disabled if the active label does not include any

objects.

Designate an object as either barcode or text by clicking on it, which creates a text or barcode

selection drop-down menu (see image above).

Using the Move Up and Move Down arrow buttons and the Delete Field and Restore All

Fields buttons, select the import order of the table's fields.

8. When you have entered all of your fields and object mappings, click Next and continue with step 8

of the Importing Data into Label Files (Advanced) process.

See also Inserting Barcodes and Modifying Barcodes for more information about barcodes.
