Filling Fields
This section describes each type of fillable field in OmniForm, how to fill
it, and how to check spelling. It contains the following topics:
• Type Ahead
• Shrink Text to Fit Fields
• Fill Text
•Comb
•Check Box
• Circle Text
•Table
• Fill Graphic
• List Fields
• Fields Defined by a Calculation
• Field Validation
These instructions assume that the cursor is already in a field.
The way information is displayed in a field depends on the current form
language selection and the object definition. See “International Settings”
on page 19 and “Defining Objects on a Form” on page 72 for more
information.
Type Ahead
As you begin to enter a word in a fill text object, OmniForm will
automatically complete the word. This option works only when there is
previously filled information that matches the word you are entering. It
also works for dates, times, and pop-up lists.
To type ahead:
1 Choose

The Options dialog box appears.
2 Click the

if you do not want this option.
