5. To finish this slide, add the data marker %%=Proposal.ReviewStatus somewhere at the bottom of the slide. Your completed slide should look like the following:

Fitting Data on to Multiple Slides

...

  • %%=Cost.Type
  • %%=Cost.Item
  • %%=Cost.Amt.
    \The 'Cost' data source contains more data than can fit on to a single slide. In order to ensure that data does not fall off of a slide, the Data Binding Property MaxRowsPerSlide can be set. When importing data, PowerPointWriter will stop importing data onto a slide when it reaches the MaxRowsPerSlide limit.
    \Additionally, we want to be sure that all the data from the 'Cost' data source is imported into our presentation. To do this the RepeatSlide marker can be used in conjunction with the MaxRowsPerSlide property.
    When placed as the first item in the notes section of the slide, the RepeatSlide marker will copy that slide in place and continue importing data on to the new slide. This behavior will continue until the end of the data source or the MaxRowsToImport limit is reached.

6. To use the RepeatSlide marker, add the text '%%RepeatSlide' as the first string of text in the notes section of the 'Expected Costs' slide. Make sure there is a space between %%RepeatSlide and the next item of text. The completed slide should look like the one below. Note the RepeatSlide marker in the notes section of the slide.
