1.Open the main RTF in the Data Mapping tool. See Opening an RTF in the Data Mapping Tool. 2.Select the Merge Field that you want to map to a file. 3.Select Define an input screen for user input from the Mapping Function drop-down list. Additional fields appear for you to define the appearance of the input screen.
4.Enter the appropriate information to define the input screen: oScreen Label—Instructions to the user about what input to provide in the text box. oMax Size—Set the maximum number of characters for the input field, if you want the field to be only one line with no scrolling. This setting sets the length of the field, in characters, and also limits the text input to that number of characters. oShow Scroll Bar—Select this option if you want the user to enter text in a scrolling text box instead of a one-line text box. oRows—When Show Scroll Bar is checked, this field sets the number of text rows of the text box that will be displayed. It does not limit the number of characters. oColumns—When Show Scroll Bar is checked, this field sets the width of the text box in the display, in characters. It does not limit the number of characters. 5.Click add more. The merge field is mapped, and the mapping is listed in the lower section of the Data Mapping screen.
6.Click Save Mapping. Now, once you generate the template, a user who generates a document with the template will be prompted to enter text first before generating the document.
