Modifying the Form’s Design
In the first tutorial, you modified the form’s design only by adding a
circle field that OmniForm had not recognized. You can do much more
than that. Suppose, for example, you wanted to take the Sample form
and change it into an order form. In this exercise, you will edit some
objects and create new objects to modify the form.

1 Click the Selection tool in the drawing toolbar.
