3) Replacing the first name:

• Continue typing after <Breakfast>:

paid by

making sure to

add a space afterward.

• Click the Bpayment field name and drag it to the right of what

you just typed.

• Place a comma after <Bpayment>.

• Results so far: On <Date> our breakfast cost <Breakfast>

paid by <BPayment>,

4) Follow these examples to fill in the rest of the fields in the

sentence.

• Use <Lunch> and <Lpayment> for the second set of (amount)

and (name) in the sentence.

• Use <Supper> and <Spayment> for the third set of (amount)

and (name) in th sentence.

• Final results: On <Date> our breakfast cost <Breakfast> paid

by <BPayment>, our lunch cost <Lunch> paid by

<LPayment>, our supper cost <Supper> paid by

<SPayment>.

5) Add data to the fields of the sentence:

• Click the gray box to the left of the row of data you want to

add. That row should be highlighted like the second row of

Figure 61.

• Click the

Data to Fields

icon (circled in black in Figure

61).This should fill the fields with the data from the row you

chose.

• Click another row and then click this icon again. The data in

the sentence changes to this selected row of data.

• Save the document.

Adding data in table format is a little easier and takes perhaps a few

less steps. Some of the steps will be quite similar.

Note

Data can be added this way as a fields or text. Following the

following steps. I leave this to the reader with which to

experiment by changing the selections in the

Insert Database

Columns

to see what results you can get.
