2	In the Properties panel Character style category, select one of the following properties:

Property group	Property
Font	• Name • Size • Horizontal scale
Format	• Bold • Italic • Underline • Strikethrough • Superscript • Subscript The Format properties accept values 0 or 1 where: 0 = FALSE 1 = TRUE
	• Baseline shift
Color	See Line color property in Adding dynamic data to shape properties.
Highlight color	See Line color property in Adding dynamic data to shape properties.

3	In the Modification text field, click the browse button.

4	In the Data Selection dialog, either:

–	Browse to the field or variable.

–	Enter an XPath.

Note:

If you use an XPath expression, enter it directly in the Modification text field.

You can remove or edit the modification later. This is done by selecting the Modification field in the Properties panel and removing or editing the data.

Compound Font property modification

Instead of setting modifications on each property in the Font group, you can set a compound font modification on the Font property. This is defined in the following form:

font:style;size;scale

Where

•	font:style is returned by the SetFontProperties script function. See the Scripting reference.

•	style is a number equal to the sum of the following values:

0 – Regular

1 – Bold

2 – Italic

4 – Underline

8 – Strikethrough

Note:

style, size, and scale are optional.
