The Design View Toolbars
Designing a Form - 121
The Design View Toolbars
This section describes each toolbar in design view and defines its
buttons. Design view contains five toolbars:
• the standard toolbar
• the font/text toolbar
• the drawing toolbar
• the arrange toolbar
• the calculation toolbar (See Chapter 9, Using Calculations, for
information on this toolbar and its functions.)
In Windows 95, you can drag these toolbars to any other location in the
OmniForm window.
The Standard Toolbar
Use the standard toolbar for basic file operations such as saving and
printing. Use it also to define and format the fields you create.
All buttons correspond to menu commands of the same name.
Below is a brief explanation of each button’s function. All corresponding
menu commands are explained in “Menu Commands” on page 110.
Processes such as scanning or opening a form are explained in Chapter
