Input field
An input field is a variable that you can click in a document to open a dialog where you can edit the test displayed in the field. To insert an input field:
- Choose Insert > Fields > Other and choose the Functions page.
- Choose Input field in the Type list.
- Optionally type some text in the Reference box. This text will appear as a tooltip when the users hover a mouse cursor over the field.
- Click Insert. In the small dialog box that opens, type some text for the variable (for example, a brief instruction to the user regarding the purpose of the field); this text can be the same or different from the text in the Reference box in the previous step.
- Click OK.
To edit an input field, click on it in the document. In the small dialog box that opens, edit the text of the field.
Inserting an input field
