Printing from a Text File Using Smart Paste

You can use Smart Paste to print labels using data contained in a text file. Text files can be
created in various ways, such as with a text editing program, exporting from a database
application, and so on. When you export text from a database, you typically create a
delimited file (CSV) with each part of an entry separated by comma or tab characters and
each entry separated by a carriage return or line feed.
Smart Paste inserts a line break on the label wherever a delimiter character appears. When a
comma is used as a delimiter, make sure any commas that you want to print on the label are
enclosed in quotation marks. When a carriage return/line feed is detected, a new label is
started.
For example
The following lines of text (delimited using commas):
