For example, you may enter values such as Earth;Wind;Fire in the
Format field. These entries will then appear on the list in the Object
Properties palette.
Variable List
This option is the same as a fixed list except that you
can enter new values at the time of assignment to the object.
After you define a set of values, you may want to add a new value to
the set that appears in the Object Properties dialog. To make these
changes, you need only to enter a value in the Object Properties pal-
ette.
Boolean
This is used when the value will be Yes or No. You
may change the value to True or False, Positive or Negative, 0 or 1,
etc.
Currency
There are two format types for the currency property.
They are Monetary Sign Leads (ex: USD 100.00) and Monetary Sign
Follows (ex: 100.00 USD).
The default setting for the currency property is Monetary Sign Leads.
This property is set in the same manner as the prieviously described
numbers with units. You need only to enter a value and a monetary
sign in the Value field to have a default monetary sign set. The sign
that you enter will then become the default setting. It will be automat-
ically added each time that you change a value.
If you enter a value and a monetary sign that differs from the default,
then the change will be rejected. If the default sign was not defined,
then you have to enter a number and a monetary sign each time that
you change the value of the property. An advantage of not having a
default monetary sign is that you are not constrained to the use of the
default setting when entering a different sign.
You may add values to a Variable
Option list. To do this, merely click
on a table that has Variable List as-
signed as a format type, then type in
the new value.
