Nothing happens. This should be a
circle text
field but there was
no circle on the form to indicate this to OmniForm during form
recognition.
OmniForm provides tools to compensate for missing information on
forms. The next section describes how to create the circle text field, as
well as other design and formatting techniques.
Design View
There are two views in OmniForm: fill view and design view. You fill in
fields in fill view. In design view, you can create and format objects
(these become fields in fill view) and add graphics to a form, among
other functions.
Click the Design button in the standard toolbar or choose
Design
in the
View menu.
As a handy shortcut, click the right mouse button to open a shortcut
menu. Choose
Design
in this menu.
