Templates for Embossing. 

An address record is a series of fields, whereas an embossed page must have a specific format. So, 
to emboss address records, you must specify which fields you want to emboss, and how they should 
be arranged. This is defined by a template, which is a KeyWord document laid out with the required 
field names in the required arrangement. A template may also contain text and formatting 
information. 

There are two main template categories, namely Braille templates and text templates. To emboss 
addresses from the address list, you would use a Braille template. Conversely to print addresses 
from the address list, you would use a Text template. The convention used for naming templates, 
places the word "Braille" in front of the Braille templates. 

KeySoft is provided with several ready-made Braille and Text templates for copying, embossing or 
printing. There is a "Letterhead template", which produces a letter heading in the form: 

Line 1: (first name)space(last name). 

Line 2: (street address). 

Line 3: (street address, line 2). 

Line 4: (city)comma(state)(zip or postal code). 

Another ready-made template is called, "Phone List template", and produces a single line for each 
record in the form: 

(last name)space(first name) 

Tab: (street address)space(street address, line 2) 

Tab: (city) 

Tab: (business phone number). 

A new line is then created. 

Select a template for your purpose. If there is no template which suits what you want to do, you can 
modify or create a template as described in 10.9 Templates.
