3.At the desired location in the layout area, drag the cursor to draw the object. When you release the mouse button, the object is completed.

4.From the File menu, click Save. The new graphic is added to the cover page.

Adding Variable Data Fields

You can insert variable fields that are filled in with actual data when you attach the cover page to a particular fax. You can choose any or all of the available fields, placing them at a desired location in the layout area.

Fields are placed on top of any cover page background or imges. Each field displays sample text to illustrate the current font, font size, and text attributes. Actual data is added to the field when the fax is sent.

Only the variable fields shown in the variables bin are available for you to use in the cover page. You cannot add or delete a field to or from the existing set. You also cannot use a single field more than once on a cover page.

Inserting a field

1.Click the desired data field on the Variables Bin.

2.Drag the cursor to draw an appropriately sized square or rectangle in the layout area.

3.Click the Selection tool from the Annotations toolbox, then click the new data field.
