Xerox Paris, a document system Support & Software User Guide

This function allows you to insert a field into added text in a page definition. In an
environment you can insert a field into static text that has already been added to the
form, or you can add dynamic text and insert the field in the one process.

A field’s font settings can be edited 

after the field has been inserted or you can

select the font for the field before it is inserted.

 

Click on the Text tool, then click again on the selected tool to display the
Default Text Settings dialogue.

Display the list of fonts that have been added to the environment and choose the
required font from the list. (If the font is not listed it can be added. Refer to
Chapter 5, ‘Adding a font to the font list’.)

Choose OK.

 

Open the Environment menu and choose the ‘Select Text Block’ option to
display the Select Text Block dialogue (or use the shortcut keys 

Ctl+N).

From the list, select the text block containing the printstream data used to fill the
field. Choose OK.

 

With the Text tool still selected, click on the page to position the cursor where
you want the field value to appear.

Press Ctl+I. The Field List for the environment will be displayed. Select the
field you wish to insert and choose OK. The field value will be displayed at the
selected position.

Click on the Right mouse button to exit Edit mode.

If required , select the Move tool to move the field into position.
