You can customize the Text fill-in through the following options:

1.Predefined value: the text that will be displayed to the user (can be left blank).

2.Multiline: if checked PhraseExpander will display a larger textbox that can accommodate more lines of text.

3.Custom text: you can specify a custom text that is displayed when the user has entered some data. The text that the user has entered is represented with the #SEL# placeholder. For example, you can use macros to customize the output: {#lowercase #SEL#} transforms the text typed by the user to lowercase automatically. You can also use the #LABEL# placeholder to insert the contents of the Label field of the variable.
