Forms
Forms are documents to be “filled out”.
For example, you could prepare an application form for vacations. Then, when one
of your coworkers wanted to apply for a vacation, he would simply open this form,
enter his name and the dates on which he wanted to begin and end his vacation and
print the form. He would then have a completed vacation application to submit.
Creating a form is no more complicated than this: you simply insert forms objects
at the places in the document where someone must later enter something – for
example, you insert text fields for text entries.
Whenever you want to fill out a prepared form you should activate Forms mode. In
this mode, only forms objects can be filled out – access to the rest of the document
and to most of TextMaker’s functions is blocked. This prevents users from changing
those parts of the form that shouldn’t be changed.
In this chapter you will learn how to work with forms:
