What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Press Nameplate does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
masthead nameplate with its ears, double rules, strapline and folio bar (fixed height — nothing in it may grow); colophon rule at the page foot
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
none — a single letter body
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
letter body paragraphs (1 to many); recipient address block; subject line; enclosure and copy list
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
nameplate at the page top on every page; colophon at the page bottom on every page
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
subject line after the recipient block; body after the subject line; closing and signature after the body; enclosures after the signature
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
body may run to further pages; the signature block must not split
Last pageHow the document ends
a short closing may land alone on the final page; the nameplate and colophon chrome carry it

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Newspaper masthead on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
