Copying a Field

The Copy Field window allows you to copy an existing field to create an identical new field. To copy a field, follow these steps:

  1. Select the field you want to copy from the Fields list.
  2. Click Field > Copy Field. The Copy Field window is displayed.

  3. Type a unique name for the field in the To box. The name can be up to 50 characters in length and cannot contain spaces. You must name field variables with a %% prefix (field variables are used in rule files and in address processing). For example, %%customer. This field sets the <FIELD> tag's name parameter.
  4. Click OK. The new field is added to the Fields list.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click over the highlighted field to display the Field Information or Field Reference dialog box. Change properties as necessary and click OK.
    • Select an area and click the Set Field Reference button or the Set Field Location button to modify the field reference or the field location.
