[. . . ] 44 Commerce Road Stamford, CT 06902 Esselte 48 South Service Road Melville, NY 11471 Text File Many programs can create a text file, such as a text editing program, a database application, and so on. When you export text from a database, you usually create a delimited file with each entry separated by comma or tab characters, and a carriage return/line feed at the end of each entry. The Smart Paste command recognizes the delimiter characters and will insert a line break on the label. When a comma is used as a delimiter, make sure the text that contains any commas that you want to print on the label is enclosed in quotation marks. The carriage return/line feed will start a new label. 21 Printing Labels Using Smart Paste NOTE The separator character may be different for countries other than the United States. When using Smart Paste, the list separator character is based on the Windows list separator (or regional setting) being used. For example, the following lines of text (delimited using commas): DYMO Corp. , 44 Commerce Road, "Stamford, CT 06902" Esselte, 48 South Service Road, "Melville, NY 11471" will print two three-line labels: one for DYMO and one for Esselte. DYMO Corp. 44 Commerce Road Stamford, CT 06902 Esselte 48 South Service Road Melville, NY 11471 In another example, the following three lines of text are printed as three two-line labels: Pencils 3 for $1. 00 Pencils, 3 for $1. 00 Pens, $0. 50 each Erasers, $1. 00 Erasers $1. 00 Pens $0. 50 each Multi-Line Text from a Word Processor When copying text from a word processor, you will typically have multi-line text. In this case, the text for each label is separated by either a single blank line or a carriage return/line feed. If a blank line is contained in the text, Smart Paste reads the text as multiple labels separated by a single blank line. If no blank line is found, the text is read as multiple, one-line labels. For example, the following two addresses are separated by a single blank line and Smart Paste will print two three-line labels. DYMO Corp. 44 Commerce Road Stamford, CT 06902 Esselte 48 South Service Road Melville, NY 11471 DYMO Corp. 44 Commerce Road Stamford, CT 06902 Esselte 48 South Service Road Melville, NY 11471 22 Printing Multiple Labels Using Smart Paste However, the following three lines of text contain no blank lines.
