This is accomplished by copy/paste. Note: To copy plain text, see Maintain text.
If the source text is changed at any time, it will affect the text retrieved as a link. This is an efficient way of changing text on all documents. If for some reason you do not want the text to be changed, do not retrieve the text as a link.
- As an example, select a sales order line on panel Work with sales orders, Order lines and click Text.
- On panel Sales order line, Edit text, click Retrieve.
- You access the Edit text panel in Retrieve mode, listing the different kinds of document text types and their descriptions. (This has been set up in Work with document text types.) Select text type Sales order line (*SALORDLIN).

- You return to the Edit text panel. In the edit area you will see the text you are about to retrieve and in the Link field at the bottom of the panel you will see the actual link.
