Creating the variable-elements document

You can create the variable-elements document with a word processing application that
provides a mail merge function, a database application, or a page layout application
that supports scripting. In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and
merged into an existing document that is set up to accept the information. Each
application has different controls for this function; see the application documentation
for detailed instructions. Before the variable elements can be added to the master-
elements document, they must be formatted to conform to the layout of the master-
elements document. This is done by creating a document with the correct formatting
and then adding the variable information in the appropriate places.

When you have created the variable-elements document, print it to the GA-1040 and
specify that it should be combined with the corresponding FreeForm Master.
