Before starting on the rule file, a sample data file is
loaded as a test case. The sample data
must contain multiple pages or multiple documents as it is the
variation across input pages that identifies the rules.
To load the sample data file:
- Select Load Data File from the
File menu.
- Select the appropriate test data file in the Open
dialog box.
- Ensure Ascii / Unicode conversion is Auto.
- Click the Open button.
The test data file appears in the main window of your
FTSplitDef screen.
If you see an empty page, press

identify an "empty" page as "Unwanted page"
.
If you are splitting a Records Mode file, press
Entry, Properties and adjust Maximum lines per
page to 1 (one).
If the second page (press
)
is not at the same distance from the top of the screen, then you
have an unformatted file with no carriage returns in it. Press
Entry, Properties and adjust Maximum lines per
page to 60 and recheck using
.
Adjust Maximum lines per page until pages line up using
and.
