To insert a floating text field into a text object

You can embed a floating text field in a text object. Floating text fields support the merging of different text values within text objects. For example, you could embed a floating text field to generate a customer name in the salutation of a form letter.

A floating text field does not have a caption and can be edited as if it were a single character of text. The properties of the floating text field must be defined separately in addition to the properties of the text object.

Note:

When merging floating fields with data, keep in mind that floating fields cannot span pages.

1.	In the text object, place the cursor where you want the floating text field to be merged.

2.	Select Insert > Floating Field.

3.	Select the floating text field and edit its properties.
