Adding static text to documents

Static text does not change and it serves as a label. When you view the document, it displays just as it is typed and formatted in the text field when the document is in Design View. Any text in a text field prints as it exists in the field unless it is within braces { } and the document recognizes it as an auto text code or as data from a dataset.

To add static text

  1. Open a document in the Document Editor. How?

  2. Expand the section where you want to add the text by clicking the plus sign next to the section name.

  3. From the Insert menu, select Text. When you move the cursor to the Layout area, the pointer becomes crosshairs.

  4. Click in the section of the Layout area where you want to place the text field. If you click and drag in the section, you can size the text field.

  5. Type the static text. Press ENTER when you have finished.

    The text field is automatically formatted in a default style using the control defaults.

  6. You can change the formatting of the text field using the Property List. How?

  7. You can resize the text field. How?

  8. To allow users to click the text field and open a Web page, define it as a hyperlink. How?
