Import CSV file

Data for merge printing can be read from a CSV file. Select the CSV file from the file selection panel that appears when you select "Import from CSV" menu in the File menu.

A CSV file stands for Commma Separated Values ​​file and refers to a text file with items separated by commas. You can export Excel and Numbers data to CSV files. Merge Print can read this CSV file and use it as mail merge data.

Edit printing date on table style UI

Merge Print can also create print data using a table style user interface without using CSV.

Print data consists of a rectangular area called a label and the strings contained within it. On a table, labels correspond to rows and strings correspond to columns.

The image below shows a new file opened. The preview shows two strings in two labels. The four cells in the table correspond to it.

Clicking a cell in the table allows you to change the string.
