work on the List Manager without a variable object on the
current label, but the List Manager will not link to the
current label.
In address lists, List Manager automatically sorts
addresses by the last name. For example, if you enter the
following address:
Harrison Schreppel
5040 El Cantada
Berkeley, CA 94720-3828
Schreppel, Harrison is displayed in the Entries list.
In some cases, the program cannot correctly identify the
last name or incorrectly identifies a company name as a
person's name. In such cases, you can rotate the words in
the entry's first line to display the words in the correct
order.
Typically, you'll store addresses in an address list and then
print selected addresses on address labels. Once you select
the entry you want, List Manager will automatically copy
the address information to the label. If no Address or other
variable object is defined on the label you will be
prompted to add one.
You can also use the List Manager to store information
other than addresses. This information (for example, a list
of product numbers) 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).
DYMO Label Software lets you use either address lists 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
it 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, the program gives you the
option of importing addresses or data (for new address
lists or data list files, respectively) into the new file.
