Select

Lists what information can be inserted for a selected field type.

For the "Created", "Modified", and "Last printed" field types, you can include the author, date, and time of the corresponding operation.

Format

If a field is displaying a date, time or number, then Format is used to customize the appearance of the date, time, or number. Common formats are shown in the Format window, or click "Additional formats" to define a custom format.

When you click "Additional formats", the Number Format dialog opens, where you can define a custom format.

Fixed content

Inserts the field as static content, that is, the field cannot be updated.

Fields with fixed content are only evaluated when you create a new document from a template that contains such a field. For example, a date field with fixed content inserts the date that a new document was created from the template.
