4.4 Creating a Text Field
You create a text field using the EDIT MESSAGE screen as follows:
• Select the character size using the Size option
• Add text by typing it using the keyboard
• Turn the text into a field
You can also apply the bold ratio by using the Bold option.
4.4.1 To Select the Character Size
1. Press the [F1] key to step through the available character sets until the
character size you want is displayed:

4.4.2 To Add Text
1. In the Message Display Area of the EDIT MESSAGE screen,
position the cursor where you want the field to start. If necessary,
move the cursor by pressing the Right [ ], Down [ ] or Left [ ]
arrow keys.
2. Type in the text using the keyboard.
As you enter the text, you can press the [del] key to delete the
character to the left of the cursor.
NOTE: Take care not to press the [enter] key, or the Left [ ] arrow key
(in an attempt to step back through the characters) before you
have finished entering the text. If you do this, the text
immediately turns into a field and if you attempt to continue
entering text, the message “Overlap: Press Enter to Edit” is
displayed in the Status Line. See ‘Handling a Field Overlap
Message’ on page 63 for further information.
