Tutorial 2 — Edit and Design a Form
Tutorials - 35
5 Place the cursor over the middle handle on the right end of the
object and hold down the mouse button.
6 Move the cursor to the left to make the
Name
fill text object
smaller.
You will create another fill text object next to this one later in
the exercise.
Edit the Table Object
1 Click the table object to select it.
Click the Object Definition button in the standard toolbar or
choose
Object Definition...
in the Format menu.
The Table Definition dialog box appears.
• Select the number in the
Number of Rows
text box and type the
number 10 to replace it.
• Leave 0.25 in the
Height of Rows
text box.
2 Click
OK.
The table reduces in size to 10 rows long. This creates more
space to add the objects you will create.
You can use the Scrapbook to store any object in your form. This
way, you can create an object once but use it in as many different
forms as you need. See “Using the Scrapbook” on page 164 for
detailed information.
