Start a new document with File > New. And we’re on our way:
Text fields for unrestricted text entries
The first line of the form should contain a text field for the entry of the client’s
name. The best way to proceed is first to provide a description of what is to be
entered in this field – for example “Name:” – and then to insert the text field itself
to the right of this description.
So do the following:
1. Type “Name:” and then insert a tab with the (Tab) key.
2. Insert a text field with Object > New Forms Object > Text Field.
3. At this point the text cursor is positioned in the text field. Press the (Æ) key to
return it to the main text.
4. Press the Enter (¢) key twice.
The first line of the form is now complete. Use the same procedure to add two
additional lines with the labels “Address:” and “City:”.
Dropdown lists
Next, a dropdown list is to be inserted below the three text fields. Dropdown lists
allow users to choose among several alternatives.
Proceed as follows:
1. Type “Gender:” and then press (Tab).
2. Invoke Object > New Forms Object > Dropdown.
3. Now you must enter the items that are to appear in the list. Enter “male” in the
New Entry field and click on Add; then enter “female” and again click on
Add.
4. Exit the dialog with OK.
5. Press (¢) twice.
