To specify list item values for a drop-down list or list box

Each item in a list is associated with a data value that represents the list item. By default, the values match the text for the list item. You can change these values, for example, to match existing values in a data source.

When you choose to specify item values for the first time, the values will change to integer values starting with “1” for the first item. If you deselect the Specify Item Values option, the values will revert to match the list item text.

Tip:	You can dynamically populate a list box with values from a data source.

1.	Select the drop-down list or list box object.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Binding tab.

3.	Select Specify Item Values.

4.	Double-click the first value that you want to change.

5.	Type the new value.

6.	Press Enter to change the next value or double-click any other value to change it.
