recommend that you go through the examples to become familiar with how to use the mouse to create
objects and move them around the layout area and how to create your own database. Note that this
chapter provides only enough information to help you get started. More detailed explanations of
commands and dialog boxes can be found in Reference.
Layout area
Use the layout area to design your label. Each label is made up of a number of elements called
objects, which are arranged in a layout. There are various types of objects, each named according to
the type of information it contains. The following is a list of available objects, along with a short
explanation of the type of information it contains.
Text objects: text
Graphics objects: pictures drawn using the draw toolbar
Bitmap data objects: bitmap data (.bmp, .dib, .jpg, .tif, .ico or .wmf data imported from another
application, such as Paintbrush)
Arranged text objects: text created using the [Arrange Text] command
Date/Time/Calendar objects: date, time or calendar data created using the [Date/Time/Calendar]
command

A dialog box appears so that you can specify a drive, directory, and file name for the layout. (Click
here)
Saving a layout under a different name
Pull down the [File] menu and click the [Save As] command.
A dialog box appears so that you can specify a drive, directory, and new file name for the layout.
(Click here) This command makes it possible for you to keep copies of the old and the new versions
of a layout file.
Databases
With your P-touch Editor, you can create useful databases to help you collect, organize and retrieve
information.
A P-touch Editor database document is made up of a table, divided into records. Each record consists
of a number of fields, each containing text data. When a field is created, it is given a format which
determines the type of data that the field can contain.
The records are the rows of the table, and the fields are the columns. The field names appear at the top
of each column. If your database is a list of customers, for example, each record could contain a field
for the first name, a field for the last name, a field for the telephone number, etc. Any of the fields in
the database can be used to sort the records, making it easier to find a desired record.
Creating a database
The following are the basic steps for creating a database.
1. Create a new database document and a new table.
2. Define the field names and their formats.
3. Create records and input the record data.
Note:
Files saved in the .mdb Microsoft® Access 97 format can be opened in
P-touch Editor Ver. 3.1. However, files created in Microsoft® Access
versions other than 97 are incompatible with P-touch Editor Ver. 3.1.
In order to understand how a database is created and used, we will perform the above steps to make a
database containing the following data:

Using database data in layouts
After you have created your database, you can incorporate data from it into your new layouts. This
section describes how to do this.
The following are the three basic steps you might perform in order to use the database data in your
layouts.
1. Define joined fields.
2. Merge database fields into the selected layout.
3. Arrange the fields in the layout.
All of these steps are described in detail below.
1. Define joined fields.
The following operation describes how you can join two or more fields into a single field, which
makes it easier to check that your text fits.
As an example, let's join the First Name and Last Name fields of the data we entered into our
database.
1. In the [Tool] menu, click the [Joined Fields] command to display the Define Joined Fields
dialog box.
2. Click to display the Add a Joined Field dialog box.
NEXT
3. In the "Fields:" list box, click the name of the first field that will be part of the joined field,
then click
.
In our example, select "First Name".
●
4. Press the keyboard's space bar to add a space after "First Name" in the "Data:" edit box.
When joining fields, you can add any text to the joined field just by typing it into the "Data:"
edit box. To divide the joined field so that it will be written on different lines, type "\n" into the
"Data:" edit box at the point where you wish to separate the joined field.
●
5. Select the name of the second field, then click .
For our example, select "Last Name".
●
6. After the joined field is the way you want it, click to close the Add a Joined Field
dialog box and add the new joined field to the "Joined Fields:" list box in the Define Joined
Fields dialog box.
7. Click to close the Define Joined Fields dialog box.
BACK NEXT
2. Merge database fields into the selected layout.
After you have created all fields and joined fields that you will want to use in your layout, you can
merge (put) the desired fields into the layout.
1. In the [Tool] menu, click the [Merge into Layout] command to display the Merge Fields
dialog box.
If more than one layout is open, the Select Layout dialog box is displayed first. In the Select
Layout dialog box, click the layout that you wish to merge (put) the fields into, then click
to display the Merge Fields dialog box.
●
A database can only be linked with one layout. If a layout which is already linked to a database
is selected, an error message is displayed.
●
2. In the "Database Fields That Can Be Merged:" list box in the Merge Fields dialog box, click
the field that you wish to merge into the layout.
To select more than one field, hold down the keyboard's Ctrl key while clicking all of the fileds
that you wish to merge. To select a range of fileds, click the first filed in the range, and then
hold down the keyboard's shift key while clicking the last field in the range of fields that you
wish to select.
●
For this example, click the joined field "[First Name] [Last Name]", and then hold down the
shift key before clicking the Address field.
●
3. In the "Object Type:" box, pull down the list of object formats and select the format of the
selected field.
Let's set all of these fields to "(Auto)".
●
BACK NEXT
4. Click to merge the fields into the layout.
To un-merge a field, simply delete it from the layout.●
Note:
If a record is currently selected in the record selector column of the record
view window, its data appears in the fields merged into the layout.
To display the field names instead of the record data in the merged field
objects, click
in the Database Properties.
3. Arrange the fields in the layout.
After merging the database fields into the layout, you can change the font, size, style (bold, italic, bold italic, etc.),
and effects applied to the text in the merged field objects and position the objects within the layout area in the same
way that you edit any other text object. You can also add objects, such as text and images, to the layout.
Displaying data from another record
To select a different record which contains data that you wish to display in the layout, pull down the [Edit] menu,
then open the [Go To] submenu and select the [First Record], [Last Record], [Previous Record], or [Next Record]
command.
You can also change the record data displayed in the layout by using the record selection buttons in the Database
Properties.

Why use joined fields?
Joined field names are helpful when you want to align fields that may contain data of
varying lengths.
If you use separate objects that are located next to each other, short pieces of data will

Long pieces of data, on the other hand, can cause the data to overlap.
The above problems can be avoided by using joined fields.
