Creating Objects
Designing a Form - 135
Creating a Circle Text Object
Use circle text objects for
Yes/No
questions and for selecting one or more
choices on a form (see the example in the previous section).
1 Click the Circle Text tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Draw a circle text object.
To create a circle instead of an oval, hold down the Shift key as you
draw.
3 With the object still selected, type the text you want to replace
the number in the object.
Creating a Table Object
Use a table to enter information for order forms, invoices, comparison
charts, purchase orders, and so forth.
A table consists of cells. Each cell contains a fill text object by default,
with the exception of the header. The header cells contain text objects by
default.
You can convert these objects to any other kind of object. You can insert
any object in a table cell. Cells can contain multiple objects.
See “Redesigning a Table” on page 158 and “Placing Objects in Table
Cells” on page 162 for more information on tables.
