The customize window for the form you want to customize should be displayed (To find the Customize window).

1. Click the text tool (it's an icon with the letter A on it, and it appears at the bottom of the window), then click the location on the form where you want the new text field to appear. A new text field, labeled "Text Field," appears.
2. Double-click the new field to open the Field Information window.
3. In the Text field of the Field Information window, enter the characters you want to use in the text field you created
4. Click OK to close the Field Information window. The new field will be displayed in the Customize window.

If the text you entered is longer than the size of the new text field, you may need to change the size of the text field. See To change the size of a data field, text field, rectangle or picture to learn about changing the size of a text field.
