Text Blocks

A Text Block contains plain text and variable Fields that insert unformatted text strings. Text Blocks can only be edited in Kofax Communications Manager Designer. Layout possibilities are limited. When a Text Block is included in the document, its text is printed in the final document.

A Text Block can, like any building block, be used in more than one Master Template.

Text Blocks are used in Content Wizards but they can also be directly inserted in Master Templates using the instruction TEXTBLOCK. See the Kofax Communications Manager Template Scripting Language Developer's Guide for more information on this instruction.

Text Blocks that use variable Fields need to have Field Sets attached to their Text Block folder. A Field Set describes the available variable fields. Fields are defined in a Field Set. For information on Field Sets, see Field Sets. The Master Template developer assigns values to these variable Fields with the instruction FIELDSET. See the Kofax Communications Manager Template Scripting Language Developer's Guide for more information on this instruction.

Text Blocks are stored in the special Text Blocks folder. This folder is automatically created when you create a new project. You can create Text Blocks subfolders in this folder.
