Tips

When you are editing fields in the 'Field Definitions' dialogue, clicking the Refresh button will re-evaluate the fields and update the page view without closing the dialogue.
To show all fields and tags, tick the Show fields box on the 'Field Definitions' dialogue. To show only the fields and tags that have been found on the current page, tick If found instead.
Click the 'back' and 'forward' buttons at the foot of the dialogue to show the previous page and next page of the document.
