When initially inserted onto the page from the Bindings panel, dynamic data does not have a specific format
applied. Data from currency and time/date use the default formats for their data types. Different formats are
chosen from the Bindings panel, as outlined in the following steps:
1. Select the dynamic data that you want to format from the Document window. The corresponding
field in the Bindings panel is highlighted.
2. From the Bindings panel, click the down arrow under the Format column to reveal the Format
List, as shown in Figure 20-4.
The Bindings panel is usually pretty narrow. The Format column may be hidden off the right
side of the screen. Use the scrollbar to move to the right and resize the Source column to
make it narrower, or simply make the Bindings panel wider to get access to the right-hand columns.
