Checkboxes for yes/no entries
Lastly, a checkbox is to be inserted. Checkboxes can be used for yes/no entries. If
the box is checked it means “yes”. If the box is not checked it means “no”.
Accordingly, we will add a checkbox that should be checked only when the client
is new:
1. Type “New client?” and then press (Tab).
2. Invoke Object > New Forms Object > Checkbox.
3. In the dialog that appears at this point you can – if required – enter additional
text that will appear next to the checkbox. For this example, type “yes”.
4. Exit the dialog with OK.
5. Press the Enter (¢) key twice.
To align the forms objects vertically you should now select all the lines you have
entered and then use Format > Tab to set a tab stop at the appropriate place – for
example at 1.2 inch.
Our form is now complete.
You can now save the document and test it (see also the section “Filling out forms”
beginning on page 276). The best way to test the form is to use View > Forms
Mode to activate Forms mode.
