Figure 48. Map Text panel

In this example, you need to map the customer's name to print in bold and a larger font. This is the area that uses the HELEVTICA font, so you need to select that font. You also need to position the field on the page.

After you press Enter on the Map Text panel, the Define Field Mapping panel is updated to show that the field has been mapped, as shown in Figure 49:

Figure 49. Define Field Mapping Completed panel

The field that you just mapped is shown in this panel as a string of 2s. You can use the F11 key to toggle between showing the mappings and hiding the mappings, which shows only the data. If you need to change the mapping attributes or placement, you can position the cursor inside the area shown with 2s and press Enter, which displays the Edit Text Mapping panel.
