Filling Fields
This section describes each type of fillable field in OmniForm Filler, how
to fill it, and how to check spelling. It contains the following topics:
• Type Ahead
• Fill Text
•Comb
•Check Box
•Circle Text
•Table
• Fill Graphic
• List Fields
• Fields Defined by a Calculation
• Field Validation
• OLE Objects
These instructions assume that the cursor is already in a field.
The way information is displayed in a field depends on the current form
language selection. See “Checking the Form Language Selection” on
page 3-14.
Type Ahead
As you begin to enter a word in a fill text object, OmniForm Filler will
automatically complete the word. This works only when there is
previously filled information that matches the word you are entering.
This option also works for dates, times, and pop-up lists.
