To Insert a Field in Text

1. Double-click the text to display the appropriate text editing dialog box.
2. Place the cursor where you want the field text to appear and right-click. Click Insert Field.

   For keyboard access, press CTRL+F.

3. In the Field dialog box, in Field Category, select All or select a category.

   The fields in the selected category are displayed in the Field Names list.

4. In the Field Names list, select a field.

   The current value of most fields is displayed in a shaded text box to the right of Field Category. The current value of a date field is displayed in the Examples list.

5. Select a format and any other options.

   For example, when the NamedObject field is selected, you select a type (for example, layer or textstyle) and a name (for example, 0 for layer or STANDARD for textstyle).

   Field Expression displays the expression that underlies the field. The field expression cannot be edited, but you can learn how fields are constructed by viewing this area.

6. Click OK to insert the field.

   The field displays its current value in the text when the Field dialog box closes.
