Fields (Free Design Templete)
This section contains general information about fields. It also explains operations that are common to both text and image fields.
Field Types
A field is a kind of box you can insert into the work area to hold text or an image. Text goes into text fields, while images go into image fields.
Selecting a single field causes it to be enclosed with a gray selection boundary. Selection boundaries do not appear on printouts.
