Writer documents
To insert a field from a table opened in the data source window into a
Writer document, click on the field name (the gray square at the top of
the field list) and, with the left mouse button held down, drag the field
onto the document. In a Writer document, it will appear as <FIELD>
(where FIELD is the name of the field you dragged).
For example, to enter the cost of meals and who paid for them on a
certain date of a vacation:
1) Open the list of data sources (F4) and select the Vacations table in
the Automobile database.
2) Use this sentence: “On (date), our breakfast cost (amount) paid by
(name), our lunch cost (amount) paid by (name), and our supper
cost (amount) paid by (name).” But only type “On , our breakfast
cost paid by , our lunch cost paid by , and our supper cost paid
by .”
3) To replace (date), click the field name Date in the data source
window and drag it to the right of the word On. The result: On
<Date>. If you have Field shadings turned on (View > Field
shading), <Date> has a gray background. Otherwise it does not.
4) To replace first (amount), click the Breakfast field name and drag
it to the right of our breakfast cost. Make sure you have the
proper spacing between the field names and the words before and
after them. Result: breakfast cost <Breakfast>.
5) To replace the first (name), click the Bpayment field name and
drag it to the right of paid by. Result: paid by <Bpayment>.
6) In the same way, fill in the rest of the fields in the sentence.
• Use <Lunch> and <LPayment> for the second set of (amount)
and (name) in the sentence.
• Use <Supper> and <SPayment> for the third set of (amount)
and (name) in the sentence.
7) Final result: On <Date>, our breakfast cost <Breakfast> paid by
<BPayment>, our lunch cost <Lunch> paid by <LPayment>, and
our supper cost <Supper> paid by <SPayment>.
8) Add data to the fields of the sentence:
• Click the gray box to the left of the row of data you want to
add. That row should be highlighted like the second row of
Figure 221.
• Click the Data to Fields icon (circled). This should fill the
fields with the data from the row you chose.
