tag using any combination of characters except spaces. Lowercase letters are
automatically changed to uppercase.
Prompt
Specifies the prompt that is displayed when you insert a block containing this
attribute definition. If you do not enter a prompt, the attribute tag is used as
a prompt. If you select Constant in the Attribute Options area under Advanced

Insert Field Button
Displays the Field dialog box (page 432). You can insert a field as all or part of
the value for an attribute.
This button is available when you are not creating a multiline attribute. If you
are creating a multiline attribute, right-click in the multiline in-place text
editor and choose Field.
Multiline Editor Button
When Multiple Line mode is selected, displays an in-place text editor with a
text formatting toolbar and ruler. Depending on the setting of the
ATTIPE
(page 1212) system variable, the Text Formatting toolbar displayed is either the
abbreviated version, or the full version.
For more information, see the
In-Place Text Editor (page 678).
NOTE Several options in the full In-Place Text Editor are grayed out to preserve
compatibility with single-line attributes.
Text Settings
Sets the justification, style, height, and rotation of the attribute text.
Text Style
Specifies a predefined text style for the attribute text. Currently loaded text
styles are displayed. To load or create a text style, see
