Chapter 3
Tutorials
These tutorials guide you through some of the main features of
OmniForm. There are four sections in this chapter:
• Tutorial 1 — Load and Fill a Form
• Tutorial 2 — Edit and Design a Form
• Tutorial 3 — Design Your Own Form
• Tutorial 4 — The OmniForm Database
Perform these exercises in order if you are new to OmniForm. Each new
exercise builds upon skills learned in the previous one. Choose the
tutorial you want to practice if you already know the basics of scanning,
designing, and using forms.
The tutorials cross-reference sections in this manual for additional
information on each subject. Read the other chapters in the manual to
learn about OmniForm features not discussed here.
Most screenshots in this chapter were taken in Windows 95. Your dialog
boxes and windows may look slightly different if you are using
Windows NT or Windows 3.1.
