+ <title>Example 1: Name Tags</title>
+
+ <p>In this example we are organizing an orientation party for the new
+ crew members of our ship. We have a list of freshman crew members that we
+ created in <app>gnumeric</app> and exported as the following
+ CSV file. We could have created this file by using a text editor, but heck it
+ is the 23rd century.</p>
+
+ <code>
+Name,Department,SN
+"Jim Kirk",Management,"SC937-0176 CEC"
+"Mr. Spock",Sciences,S179-276SP
+"Leonard McCoy",Medicine,unknown
+"Montgomery Scott",Engineering,SE-197-54T
+ </code>
+
+ <p>In <app>gLabels</app> we have created a new <app>glabels</app>
+ document using the Avery 5395 "Name Badge Labels" template. Next we use the
+ <guiseq> <gui>Objects</gui>
+ <gui>Merge Properties</gui> </guiseq> menu item to display
+ the <gui>merge properties</gui> dialog. We use this dialog to
+ select the source type (in our case CSV with keys on line 1) and the merge
+ source (filename) as shown.</p>
+
+ <!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
+ <media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex1-1.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
+ <p>Merge properties dialog</p>
+ </media>
+ <!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
+
+ <p>We can also view each record in more detail by clicking on the appropriate
+ expander (the little triangles) as shown. Once we are satisfied with the
+ selections in this dialog we click <gui>OK</gui> to accept the
+ changes.</p>
+
+ <p>Now we start adding objects to our <app>glabels</app> document as shown.</p>
+
+ <!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
+ <media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex1-2.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
+ <p>Adicionando objetos</p>
+ </media>
+ <!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
+
+ <p>In this example we have added three text objects and a barcode object. The
+ first text object contains only simple literal text ("Hello, my name is"). The
+ second text object contains a single merge field ("${Name}") corresponding to the
+ first field of a record (first column of a line) which contains the new crew
+ member's full name. The third text field contains both literal text
+ ("Department: ") followed by a single merge field ("${Department}") corresponding to
+ the second field or the crew member's department. The barcode object is
+ configured to use field (or key) "SN" which contains our crew member's
+ starfleet serial number.</p>
+
+ <p>Now we can print our name tags by selecting the
+ <guiseq> <gui>File</gui>
+ <gui>Print</gui> </guiseq> menu item. This will display
+ print dialog as shown below.</p>
+
+ <!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
+ <media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex1-3.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
+ <p>Printing name tags</p>
+ </media>
+ <!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
+
+ <p>Just to make sure our labels are going to look okay, we select the
+ <gui>Print outlines</gui> option and click
+ <gui>Print Preview</gui>. This will display a print preview dialog
+ as shown below.</p>
+
+ <!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
+ <media type="image" src="figures/merge-ex1-4.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
+ <p>Name tags preview</p>
+ </media>
+ <!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
+
+ <p>Everything looks good, so we can now load up our printer with
+ the appropriate label stock, print our name tags and start beaming our guests
+ aboard.</p>
