Using the Property Window

Use the property window to view and update page field properties. The property window can be used in lieu of or in addition to using the page field properties dialog box.

In the following example, the property window displays the page field properties for the selected group box. In addition, the Type field has been selected illustrating that properties can be updated directly in the property window.
