Tutorial 1 — Load and Fill a Form
You will load the Sample form in this exercise in one of three ways:
• Scan in the Sample form with a scanner if you have one. The form
is supplied inside this manual.
• Fax the Sample form to your computer’s fax modem if you have
no scanner, use your fax software to save it as a PCX or TIFF file,
and open it in OmniForm. The form is inside this manual.
• Locate and open the Sample.tif file if you have no scanner and
no fax modem. It was placed in your OmniForm\Sample Forms
folder during installation.
Decide which method you want to use. You can try all three methods
eventually if you own both a scanner and a fax modem.
After you have loaded the form into OmniForm, you will practice
various features of the program.
