The Options Dialog Box Readouts
Below the
Language
selection, OmniForm displays readouts: the
international symbol for the selected language (which appears in the
status bar); and currency, number, and date conventions specific to that
language.
The readouts show:
• How OmniForm expects data to be entered in Fill View.
• How OmniForm will format data in Fill View if it is not entered
correctly. (Formatting takes place after you move the cursor out
of a field.) See the next section for formatting examples.
Formatting Examples
