Creating Objects on a Form
70 Chapter 4
2 Draw the fill text object.
To create a square field, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
Creating a Comb Object
Use a comb field to separate information into separate groups of
elements while maintaining the field as a whole. For example, forms
used in the United States typically require that you enter zip code
numbers in five or nine separate boxes.
To create a comb object:
1 Click the Comb tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Either click anywhere on the form to create a four-element comb
field, or move the cursor to anyplace on the form and hold down
the mouse button as you slowly drag the cursor.
The number of elements in the comb field increases as you drag
the mouse. Let go of the mouse button when the comb field
contains the number of elements that you want.
Many sample forms included with your OmniForm package, such as the
Objects form, contain comb objects that you can copy and paste into
your own form.
Creating a Check Box Object
Use check boxes for
Yes/No
questions and for selecting one or more
choices on a form.
To create a check box object:
1 Click the Check Box tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Draw a check box.
To create a square check box, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
