File to vMedia - Conditional Document Processing Commands

File to vMedia supports tags embedded in the merge, that control document processing logic. Initially, the following codes are supported. More codes will be added in future versions of File to vMedia.

Available Processing Commands

SKIPDOC - Instructs File to vMedia to skip the filing of the entire subdocument. This command can be placed anywhere in the subdocument and will affect the entire subdocument.

SKIPREST - Instructs File to vMedia to skip filing the remainder of the subdocument from the point in the document at which the command appears. Typically, this command is placed at the end of the last page of the document before any unneeded attachments or specialized forms (such as a mailing envelope).

SKIPPAGE - Instructs File to vMedia to skip filing the page of the subdocument on which the command appears. This command can be placed anywhere on the page to exclude the entire page. Multiple processing commands can appear in a document. For example, a SKIPPAGE command embedded on page 2 and also on page 4 would exclude both pages (but retain page 3) in the filed document.

How to Configure

NOTE: The command prefix can be FileTovMedia= rather than FileToImageMaster=. However, the command prefix of FileToImageMaster= will continue to be supported for backwards compatibility.

  1. Start WordPerfect and edit the desired merge form document.

  2. Position the insertion point at the appropriate location.

  3. From the WordPerfect menu, select Insert>Comment>Create. The Document Comment Editing window will appear.

  4. Type in the desired processing command using this format:

FileTovMedia= processing command as shown above where:

FileTovMedia= is the required (see previous note) command prefix and the processing command is the appropriate command as indicated above (i.e. SKIPDOC, SKIPREST, or SKIPPAGE)

  1. From the WordPerfect menu, select File>Close to close the comment and return to the document.

A WordPerfect document comment will be inserted in the document that contains the desired File to vMedia processing command. This comment does not appear on any printed or imaged copy, nor does it affect the document layout for purposes outside of File to vMedia.

How to Use

From the Collection-Master function Toolbar, select File to vMedia, or manually execute File to vMedia by selecting Tools>Macro>Play and type File2vMedia as the macro to run
