About text fields
Use text fields to store letters, symbols, and numbers used as text.
Indexes
are based on the words or values in the fields.
Notes
•
Text fields can hold values that are combinations of letters, numbers, and special characters, like phone numbers, postal codes, or serial numbers.
•
Text fields sort in alphabetical order (left to right, character by character).
•
To specify how data in a text field displays (for example, to specify a font), see
