Creating Objects
Designing a Form - 136
To create a table object:
1 Click the Table tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Either click anywhere on the form to create a table, or hold
down the mouse button and drag the cursor slowly.
The number of rows and columns in the comb field increase as
you drag the mouse. Let go of the mouse button when the table
contains the number of rows and columns you want.
To create a square table, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
Creating a Fill Graphic Object
Use a fill graphic object to illustrate text, such as a diagram, or as a
design element, such as a company logo. You can only fill a fill graphic
in fill view.
A fill graphic can be different for every copy of a form in your file
because it is filled in fill view. Create a graphic object instead if you want
the same graphic to appear in every copy of the form.
To create a fill graphic object:
1 Click the Fill Graphic tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Draw the fill graphic object.
To create a square, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
