Defining Objects on a Form
72 Chapter 4
The number of rows and columns in the comb field increase as
you drag the mouse. Let go of the mouse button when the table
contains the number of rows and columns that you want.
To create a square table, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
Creating a Fill Graphic Object
Use a fill graphic object to allow the person who fills in the form to add
a graphic. For example, suppose you have designed a real estate form
that requires a picture of the property. You place a fill graphic object on
the form so that the person who fills in the form can add the picture of
the property. If, instead, you want to add a graphic to the form, see
“Adding Graphics to Your Form” on page 66.
To create a fill graphic object:
1 Click the Fill Graphic tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Draw the fill graphic object.
To create a square, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
Defining Objects on a Form
This section describes the options in the Object Definition command and
how they affect a selected object. The dialog box that appears varies
according to the selected object and form language. Each definable
object is described in this section in the order it appears in the drawing
toolbar.
