CHAPTER 16 Working with Rich Text
Users Guide 473
If an input field is not a computed field and its name does not match a column,
there is no way to specify data for the input field.
There can be more than one copy of an input field in the rich text. In the sample
above, there are two instances of the field
FNAME. Each instance of the field
displays the same data.
Unavailable settings
Not all the settings available in other report styles are available. You cannot
apply code tables and edit styles, such as a DropDownDataWindow or
EditMask, to input fields. You cannot use slide left and slide up settings to
reposition input fields automatically.
