Tip
Although these fields are often used to hold information that changes,
you can make the content unchangeable by selecting the Fixed
content option (visible in Figure 388, lower right) when inserting the
field. If necessary, you can come back to this dialog box later and
deselect this option to make the field variable again.
Using AutoText to insert often-used fields
If you use the same fields often, you will want a quick and easy way to insert them.
Use AutoText for this purpose. To define an AutoText entry for a field:
1) Insert a field into your document, as described previously.
2) Select the field, and then choose Edit > AutoText (or press Ctrl+F3).
3) On the AutoText dialog box, choose the group where this new entry will be
stored (in this example, it is going into My AutoText), type a name for the
entry, and change the suggested shortcut if you wish.
4) Click the AutoText button and click New to have the entry inserted as a field.
Do not choose New (text only) because the AutoText entry will be plain text,
not a field. (The selection New does not appear until you have selected a group
and typed a name for the entry.) Click Close to close the AutoText dialog box.
Now whenever you want to insert this field at the cursor position, type the shortcut,
and then press F3.
Defining your own numbering sequences
You may want to define your own numbering sequences, for example to use in
situations where you do not always want the number at the start of the paragraph or
where you want more control than the built-in numbering choices give you.
This topic describes how to create and use a numbering sequence, using a “number
range variable” field.
