Before creating your repagination rules you need a sample data file open. If FTDesign had a sample data file loaded it is displayed, otherwise open a sample data file. You can change the sample data file at any time by opening a new sample data file.

To open a sample data file to create your repagination rules with:

• Select Open Data File from the File menu or click the Open data file tool button on the toolbar.
• The Open dialog box opens. Browse and select the sample data file you wish to open.
• Select one of the Ascii/Unicode conversion options. Auto is the normal option.

  

• Your sample data file will now be loaded into the Mapping window of the FormTrap Repaginator.
