Special Field Command

Use the Special Field command from the Insert menu to insert a special field; for example, a date, time, page number, page n of m field, or total pages.

To insert a special field

1. Select the Special Field command from the Insert menu.

   A submenu of special fields is then displayed.

2. Select a field from the submenu

   The cursor then changes to a circle with a diagonal line across it. When you move the pointer to the design layout, it changes to a standard field marker, indicating that you can now place your field.

3. Move the cursor and then click on your layout at the position at which you want your special field inserted.

The special field is then inserted. You can also insert and maintain fields by using the Catalog of Available Fields dialog. For details about inserting a special field, see "Inserting a Special Field", earlier in this chapter.
