   2. The Field Editor will open. From the Properties list box, select the desired DataGroup property.
   3. (Optional) In the property formatter that lists next to the Properties list box, change the display properties.
   4. Click Accept.
2. (Optional) Add desired text to prefix or suffix the field in the editing box.
3. Right-click on the text field and select Save Text Favorite. The new Text Favorite is saved.
4. In the Text Editor window, select Manage Text Favorites from the Insert Favorite drop-down.
5. Rename the new Text Favorite.
6. (Optional) From the Text Styles drop-down list, select the desired text style to be applied to the favorite.

The Text Favorite is saved and ready to be used.
