A Diskfile output (exporting
your database in the format of your choice) can be used for any of the following
purposes:
- To create a new database
in presorted order with all of the presorted data in a format that can be
read by other programs such as MS Word for a Mail Merge.**
- To create a label format
output in presorted order to take to another computer or application for printing.
- To create an output file
in an AccuZIP6 database format in presorted order.
To create a Diskfile follow
the instructions below.
- From the Print Presort window, click on the Print Labels button.
- From the Print
Settings window, choose Diskfile from the Output pull down menu. Click Continue.
- Select Export Format
from the Template pull down.
- Click Continue.
- In the Export Setup window,
select the fields you want to export, or check the Export All Fields box.*
- Select which Export Format
you want from the Export Format pull down menu.
- Select the Scope of records
you want to export, i.e., all, rest, marked.
- Click Export.
- Give the File a name
and choose a location to save the file.
- Click Save.
A new file has now been
created. This file can be opened in other programs depending on the format that
you saved it in. It can also be used to compare with your original AccuZIP6
database by doing a Merge/Purge. See the AccuZIP6 Users Guide for instructions
on doing a Merge/Purge.
*You can select a pre-saved
Export Map from the Export Maps pull down.
**If you are exporting for a Mail Merge in MS Word, you will need to select
the endorse and barcode fields as well as the fields you want to print. To print
the barcode in MS Word, assign the USPS Barcode font, size 15, to the barcode
field in MS Word. |
