This article describes how a multiple-line database field wraps when it is merged with a Works label, envelope, or form letter document.
NOTE: Works 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5a database fields can hold 2047 characters (2 KB). Works 3.0x database fields can hold 255 characters. Works 2.0x database fields can hold 249 characters.
MORE INFORMATIONWorks 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5a
When you merge database fields with a Word Processor document in Works 4.0,
4.5, and 4.5a, the information in the multi-line field wraps based on the
page properties of the Word Processing document. For example, if you merge
a label, the field text wraps to the next line when it reaches the right edge of the label.
Works 2.0 and 3.0
When you merge database fields with a Word Processor document to create
form letters or labels, all of the information in the multi-line field is
printed on a single line. If multi-line fields in the Database module must
wrap when you merge the fields into the Word Processor, the multi-line
fields needs to be separated into multiple fields.
