In your document, place the insertion point inside the field code (field code: Placeholder text that shows where specified information from your data source will appear; the elements in a field that generate a field's result. The field code includes the field characters, field type, and instructions.) where you want to insert the inner field. Then use the Field dialog box to insert the inner field.
