The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

This article discusses how to merge information from your database to a certificate document created with the Works Certificate Wizard.

Once the Certificate wizard is completed, it will be a Draw document. Information from the database can only be merged into a Word Processing document. This article steps you through copying the certificate from the Draw document into a Word Processing document.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To move the certificate information into a Word Processing document, do the following:

  Create and complete the certificate wizard. For information on how to create a wizard document refer to pages 11-12 of the Microsoft Works User’s Guide.   Make any changes to the certificate then save the document.   On the Edit menu, click Select All.   On the Tools menu, click Group.   On the Edit menu, click Copy.   Open a new Word Processing document. </li>  On the File menu, click Page Setup. </li>  Change your page orientation to landscape (the image laying on its side). </li>  Click OK. </li>  On the Edit menu, click Paste. The certificate will appear on your Word Processing document. </li>  Resize the certificate slightly until you see the insertion point blinking in the upper left corner of your document. To resize the certificate: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">  click anywhere on the image of the certificate </li>  locate one of the corner handles </li>  click on the handle and drag to resize the certificate </li></ol> </li>  Press the RETURN key until the cursor is on the line where you want to merge in the database information. For example, if you need information from the database to appear about half-way down the certificate, then press the RETURN key until the insertion point is half-way down the certificate. </li>  If you need to position the cursor anywhere on the certificate, set tabs on the ruler. For example, if you need information from the database to appear about four inches into the certificate, set a tab on the ruler at the four inch mark then press the TAB key For information on how to set tabs refer to page 154 of the Microsoft Works User’s Guide. </li>  On the Format menu, click Font and Style. Select the desired font, size and style then click OK. </li>  On the Insert menu, click Database Field. </li>  Insert the desired field. </li>  Repeat steps 12-16 until you have inserted all the database information. </li>  If you want to resize the certificate back to its original size, do so. You may need to re-position your field information slightly. </li></ol>
