Redesigning Your Form
Designing a Form 43
• Click
Auto Order
to place all fields in the original creation or-
der on a form designed by OmniForm during scanning or im-
port.
If you created the form in OmniForm, the program uses
“smart” auto ordering
.
OmniForm generally reorders fields
from left to right and top to bottom.
• You can also change the tab order within a cell if it contains
multiple fillable fields. To do so, click a field with a plus sign
in front of it to display its list of contained fields. Select one of
the objects within the cell and either drag it or use the
Move Up
or
Move Down
buttons.
4 The corresponding tab order numbers on the field change
when you reorder a field in the Tab Order dialog box.
5 Click the Tab Order button in the standard toolbar or choose
Tab Order...
in the Tools menu to close the Tab Order window.
Placing Objects in Table Cells
Each table cell contains one fill text object by default (except for column
headers which contain a text object). A cell can contain more than one
object, fillable or nonfillable.
To place objects in a table cell:
1 Select a tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Your cursor changes to reflect that object.
3 Move the cursor over the cell to fill so that it highlights the cell.
4 Click to place the object in the cell, or hold down the mouse
button and draw an object to the size that you want.
To resize an object to fit a cell exactly:
1 With the object in the table cell still selected, choose
Size and
Position
in the Format menu.
The Size and Position dialog box appears.
2Select
Snap Object(s) to Fit Table Cell.
3 Click
OK.
