Merge {INPUT} and {KEYBOARD} Commands In Head |

Problem
Solutions: If a customer is trying to use {INPUT} and {KEYBOARD} merge codes in a header they will have troubles with the last {INPUT} or {KEYBOARD} code jumping out of the header and into the main document. To correct the merge I replaced the last {INPUT} (or {KEYBOARD}) code in the header with {TEXT}varname~message~{VARIABLE}varname~. This prompts the user with the message and assigns the typed information to the variable name. The {VARIABLE} command then displays the typed information at the location it should go in the header. The reason the {INPUT} and {KEYBOARD} doesn't work is because it tries to show the user the next area it will type at and when the next area is in the main document and not in the header, the merge malfunctions. This information is entered as an STR. What I listed here is a work around. Another work around would be to put some other merge command at the end of the header (which would limit the amount of additional context processed) such as a {Comment}~ command. |
