Tutorial 3 — Design Your Own Form
Tutorials - 59
• Click the
Border
tab and select the settings shown below.
• Click on each side of the rectangle in the
Borders
box to place
borders around the entire object.
4 Click
OK.
See page 39 again for the completed form. Your final form should look
similar to this depending on how you chose to customize it. Your form
will not as yet have the arrow in the upper right corner. That is added in
fill view.
Tab Order
You can tab from field to field in fill view. This is faster than moving the
cursor to each field. When tabbing, OmniForm moves the cursor
through the fields in the order in which they were created. This may not
be the order you want.
To change tab order:
1 Click the Tab Order button in the standard toolbar or choose
Tab Order...
in the Tools menu.
The Tab Order window appears to the right of the form and
numbers appear by each field on the form.
