Spell Checking
168 Chapter 6
Field Validation
Fill text fields can be configured by the creator to:
• Require that you enter information in a field and do not leave it
blank.
• Require that you enter specific information in a field.
• Require both of the above.
• Require that you choose from a list of choices.
This is
field validation
and ensures that information entered in a form is
consistent. For example, you may be required to enter a date in a
validated
Date
field. You would receive a reminder prompt from
OmniForm if you attempted to enter anything other than a date.
• Click
No
to return to the field and enter the expected information.
• Click
Ye s
to override field validation.
See “To set validation options for fill text objects:” on page 76 for
detailed information on field validation.
Spell Checking
Use the spell-checking feature to verify that text field entries are correct.
Before you check spelling make sure you have selected the correct
language for your form in the Options dialog box as described below.
Proceed to “Spell Checking Your Form” on page 170 if you have a
single-language form, or the
Current Form
language selection is correct,
or you have a dictionary for that language.
To Check the Current Form Language Selection:
1 Choose
Options...
in the Tools menu.
The Options dialog box appears.
2Click the
International
tab.
