Designing cover pages

FAXmaker supports two kinds of cover page formats: RTF format and HTML format. To design a cover page in HTML format, you can use any HTML editor such as Microsoft FrontPage. To design a cover page in RTF format we recommend you use Microsoft Wordpad.

Designing a cover page in RTF format

To design a cover page in RTF format:

  1. Create a new RTF file.

    Ι The recommended word processor for editing cover pages is Microsoft's WordPad, because it offers "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG). Don't use Microsoft Word because many of its formatting features are not supported in RTF cover pages.

  2. Add text and message fields such as <R_Name> and <R_Company> (for supported merge fields, see next paragraph).

    For example, a very simple cover page with recipient name and company could be created as follows:

To: <R_Name>

Company:<R_Company>

Note: If you want to insert a graphic in your cover page, please add it by choosing Insert> Picture > From file command from the menu bar. Make sure the picture format is Windows Bitmap!

  1. After you have finished designing your cover page, you can add it by creating a new cover page, and specifying the file in the 'Add from file' button, located in the New Cover page dialog.
Designing a cover page in HTML format

To design a cover page in HTML format:

  1. Create a new HTML file.
  2. Add text and message fields such as such as [R_Name] and [R_Company] (for supported merge fields, see next paragraph). For example, a very simple cover page with recipient name and company could be created as follows:

To: [r_name]

Company:[r_company]

<message>

  1. After you have finished designing your cover page, you can add it by creating a new cover page, and specifying the file in the 'Add from file' button, located in the New Cover page dialog.
