Redesigning Your Form
Designing a Form - 162
• Click a field with a plus sign in front of it to display its list of
contained fields.
A table, for example, opens to display a list of cells. You can
click each cell to display the object(s) it contains. You cannot
change cell order, but you can change tab order within a cell
if it contains multiple fillable fields.
The corresponding tab order numbers on the field change
when you reorder a field in the Tab Order dialog box.
4 Repeat for each field you want to reorder.
5 Click the Tab Order button in the standard toolbar or choose
Tab Order...
in the Tools menu to close the Tab Order window.
Placing Objects in Table Cells
Each table cell contains one fill text object by default (except for column
headers which contain a text object). A cell can contain more than one
object, fillable or non-fillable.
To place objects in a table cell:
1 Select a tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Your cursor changes to reflect that object.
3 Move the cursor over the cell to fill so that it highlights.
4 Click to place the object in the cell, or hold down the mouse
button and draw an object of the size you want.
To resize an object to fit a cell exactly:
1 With the object in the table cell still selected, choose
Size and
Position
in the Format menu.
The Size and Position dialog box appears.
2Select
Snap Object(s) to Fit Table Cell.
3 Click
OK.
4 The object resizes to fit the cell exactly.
