4. Click the Properties tab, and then click Select Properties.
   • If you select a property from the list provided, skip to step 6 in this procedure.
   • If you do not see the property you want, you can create a property by clicking New.
5. Type a unique name for the new property in the space provided.
6. Select the type of property that you want to create such as Text, Number, List, or Comment Box.
   • If you create a List property, click Values to specify the values for the list. These values apply to this property in all profiles.

If you select this option, note that the values that a user enters in this case appear only once, in the individual profile of the document with which the user works. The values that the user enters are not available for other users of that profile to select.
   • If you want to allow users to select multiple values from the list when they fill out the document profile, select the Allow users to select multiple values check box.
   • If you want to make the property required, select the Require users to enter a value for this property check box.
