Labels, Fields, Text, Graphics

Labels - Static text strings that can be used to represent field names or single line comments, disclaimers, etc. Any format can be applied to these elements; however, the format changes effect every character in the label.

Fields - These are pieces of data obtained from the specific quote you will be printing. There are 40 different fields to choose from, such as quote number, current and expiration date, complete and partial address elements of your customer, salesperson, commission, total cost etc. In addition, you can add any user-defined field from the quote. These fields can contain payment terms, credit card information, notes, etc. Finally, you can any field you like from your external contact manager.

Text - This powerful feature allows you to add any number of fully formatted text elements to a quote. Unlike elements, every character can be formatted differently. These elements are typically used to present Company titles, terms and conditions and warrantee information.

Graphics - Any number of graphics can be added from a wide variety of image formats, such as bmp, jpeg, gif, etc. In addition to company logos, these elements are often used place fancy frames and other graphic elements onto the quote to further individualize the document.
