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:
• AutoFill
• Hyperlinks
• Type Ahead
• Shrink Text to Fit Fields
• Fill Text
•Comb
•Check Box
• Circle Text
•Table
• Fill Graphic
• List Fields
• Fields Defined by a Calculation

• Filling/Signing a Form That Has Security Properties
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 28.
AutoFill
An autofill is an automatic filling of fields on your form. For example,
your form may contain a field that has a drop-down list of choices. After
you make your selection from a drop-down list, other fields on your
form may be filled in automatically. The form designer sets up these
autofills in OmniForm. For more information, see the form designer or
the
OmniForm User’s Manual
.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are connections from your form to a Web site. These are set
up by the form designer so they may not look the same on every form
you will fill out. Hyperlinks, therefore, can appear as rectangle objects,
oval objects, graphic objects, text objects and inside a text object
(embedded within the text). Nonetheless, a good form designer will
label them so that you know they are hyperlinks.
