Inserting the date, page number, or other variable onto a layout
1. In Layout mode, click the Selection tool in the status toolbar, and click where you want the information to appear.
2. Choose Insert menu, then choose one of the following commands:
Note You can type the characters listed for the symbol instead of using the commands on the Insert menu. For example, you can type {{CurrentTime}} to insert a time symbol. Variables are not case-sensitive, but they can contain no spaces or extra characters between the curly braces.
3. In Browse mode and Preview mode, a text block displays and prints only as much text as will fit within its dimensions. Because a symbol often expands when replaced with its variable text, the contents of a text block may be clipped and may not appear in its entirety. If necessary, resize the text block to display all of the text. For information on resizing text blocks, see Resizing and reshaping objects.
