Converting an Object to Another Type of Object
You can convert any selected object to another type of object. You might,
for example, want to convert objects in table cells to check boxes.
Be careful when converting objects in an existing form. If the old object
contained information, you will permanently lose that object’s
information in every record.
You can also convert objects that were not defined properly during
import; for example, OmniForm might define a line with space above it
as a fill text field. You could convert this to a line.
To convert a selected object:
1 Choose
Convert...
in the Edit menu.
The Convert dialog box appears.
2 Select an object type in the
Convert Object(s) To
list and click
OK.
The object is converted.
Use the
Select Special...
command in the Edit menu to select all objects of
a specific type.
