Creating a Variable Text Object All Address objects are designed to hold information that varies from label to label. For example, Address objects automatically display an entry that you select from the Address Book. Also, you can automatically paste information from the clipboard directly into an Address object. Normally, Text and Circular Text objects can only display fixed information that you enter directly into a Text object or into the Circular Text Properties dialog box. However, you can make a Text or Circular Text object display variable information in the same manner as an Address object (that is, turn a plain Text object into a "variable Text object"). 64
