Problem

Solutions: If a customer needs to repeatedly enter the same information in a keyboard merge they may want to use the {TEXT} and {VARIABLE} commands to save from entering the information more than once. To do so one would create a macro that looks as follows: {TEXT}1~Enter your prompt here: ~ {Merge/Sort}1document.nam{Enter}{Enter} Next they would create the primary file as usual but insert {VARIABLE} commands at each position the {KEYBOARD} or ^C would generally go (Shift-F9, 6). The macro is designed to prompt for the information that is to be entered throughout the file and then run the merge. The information entered when prompted will then appear at each {VARIABLE} location. This setup would be ideal for creating legal documents in which a client's name is entered numerous times through out the file.
