Define variable fields in QuarkXPress and create a link between the QuarkXPress document and a standard database. Data Link XT makes it possible to place variable fields in a normal QuarkXPress text stream. These variable fields contain references to fields in a database file. In the database file, for instance, the price information is kept for every product. If the price information in the database is changed, the corresponding fields in the QuarkXPress document will also change automatically.
Variable fields do not necessarily have to be simple fields, such as prices, but might contain complete stories. By defining all text parts as variable fields, the user could, for instance, easily convert the language of the publication.
Place references to the database in the document many times, anywhere on the page. The modification date and time of the database file is kept with the document, so when the date or time of the data file is changed, the QuarkXPress document will be updated also.
With Data Link XT, update the information in a catalog at the last moment before publishing, without concern about the integrity of the data. Use any database with Data Link XT that can generate a tab-delimited text file.
