then press on the 'plus' button. 'Red single arrow' button: remove selected field;
'Red double
arrow' button: remove all selected fields.
Skip Blank Fields: if checked, a blank line is not
printed when a data field is blank.
No Text Wrapping: only the part ot the text that
fits into one line can be printed. Set layout options for selected
fields (bold, italic, underlined, justification).
