Where should I put the field?

When you add a field to a stack, you need to decide whether you want to put it on the card layer or the background layer:

* If you want the field and its text to

appear only on one card, put the field in

the card layer.

• If you want the field to appear on every

card in the stack, but you want to be able

to type different text into the field on

each card, put the field in the

background layer.

* If you want the field to appear on every

card in the stack, and you want it to

display the same text on each card, put

the field in the background layer and

turn on the Shared Text option in the

Field Info dialog box.

* If you want a field to appear on some of

the cards in the stack, but not all of them,

create a different background for those

cards and put the field in just that

background.
