How can I use an attribute field in the dynamic text? And I don't mean the predefined ones, I mean just some attribute field I made. I know I've done this before somehow, but can't find anything useful in the help files and my old copy/paste bits aren't working anymore.
So for the Layout, click the Insert Tab and in the Graphics and Text group (far right of the tab), click Dynamic Text, scroll down to Table Attribute, and select Value. In the Insert Table Attribute pane, fill in the Source if required, modify the query if needed. In the Appearance item, click the Field dropdown for the field to display, optionally a sort field, the delimiter by default is a space for one long line but you can add \n here for a new line, update the Decimal places if it's a number field type and optionally the thousands separator. Now draw a box in your layout and it will display the values from the attribute table.
