Select Projects Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to select specific projects for an employee to add to an Employee Info Center section of a custom proposal.

In addition to selecting specific projects in this dialog box, you must have added a merge code for associated projects and merge codes for specific project fields in the InDesign merge template that you created for the employee section of the custom proposal. In the merge template, if you chose to include all associated projects (instead of Proposal Projects), then you do not need to select projects in this dialog box.
