Defining Non-Printable Text Fields ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Non-printable text fields allow you to enter data without
printing it in its entered form. Typically, non-printable fields
"hold" data that later combines with other fields to form a
merged field. Define non-printable text fields before you
define the field where the information prints.
