8) Add data to the fields of the sentence:
– Click the gray box to the left of the row of data you want to add. That row should be
highlighted like the second row of Figure 263.
– Click the Data to Fields icon (circled). This should fill the fields with the data from the
row you chose.
– Click another row and then click this icon again. The data in the sentence changes to

Adding data in table format is a little easier and takes perhaps fewer steps. Some of the steps will
be quite similar.
1) Navigate to the place you want to place the table and click the location.
2) Control+Click the gray box to the left of each row of the data source that you want to be a
row in your table if the rows are not consecutive. To select consecutive rows, click the gray
box to the left of the top desired row and Shift+click the bottom desired row.
3) Click the Data to text icon to open the Insert Database Columns dialog (Figure 264). (The
Data to text icon is to the left of the Data to Fields icon in Figure 263.)
