Text: You can choose to capitalize (first letter in uppercase), use lowercase or uppercase for the text.
Font: All inserted fields can be formatted like regular text in Word, including changes to font, size and style.
Date Formatting: You can format dates as Short (08/23/2024), Medium (Aug 23 2024), Long (August 23, 2024), or Full (Friday, August 23, 2024).
