Joined Fields (only for a database document)
● Selecting the [Joined Fields] command in the [Tool] menu displays the Define Joined Fields
dialog box, which allows you to create a new field consisting of two or more fields that have
already been defined. You can even add text to the joined field or divide it onto different lines in
the layout.
Why use joined fields?
Joined field names are helpful when you want to align fields that may contain data of
varying lengths.
If you use separate objects that are located next to each other, short pieces of data will
cause the spaces between the data to be too large, as shown below.
Long pieces of data, on the other hand, can cause the data to overlap.
The above problems can be avoided by using joined fields.
