By default, the text for all message fields is empty. To add or modify the text for a message field, double-click its entry to get the Edit Message dialog. In the dialog, enter or modify the message in the Text field. Messages can have line breaks as well. Click OK to accept the text for the message or click Cancel to leave the text as it was.
Note that each individual message may have a practical limit on how much of the text will actually display. The amount of actual space varies depending on the platform and device. By keeping a message relatively short, you can assure that all of the text in the message displays when shown.
| Title | Use this field to provide the formal full title of the document. For documents with long titles, the Document Title field on the Destination property page does not provide enough space, allowing for only 31 characters, enough for a concise title. In such cases, you can provide the formal full title of the document in the Title message field. As an example, a document might have the concise title An Authoritative Guide to the Universe but have the much longer formal full title An Authoritative Guide to the Universe: Galaxies, Solar Systems, and Planets |
