The remainder of the data document contains lines of data called data records. The information in each data record is di-
vided into the categories just as in the names record. The items are also separated by tabs, and each data record ends
with a return character.!

Note: The structure of the data document is very important. If you have a field named "City", for example, and it is the forth item in the
names record, the city must be the fourth item in every data record - because Mariner Write will always insert the fourth item when
"City" is requested in the template document."

Hint: Since commas can be used to separate fields, if you have data in a field that requires a comma, surround the entire field in flat
quotation marks. To enter flat quotations using Mariner Write you may need to disable the smart quote feature or enter them using
the Symbol dialog.
