Borders property sheet
With this property sheet, you can give the text field a full border or individual
border lines.
The options on this property sheet correspond to those for the Format > Borders
command (see the section “Borders and lines” beginning on page 94).
Shades property sheet
With this property sheet, you can apply shading to the text field using a color or a
pattern.
The options on this property sheet correspond to those for the Format > Shading
command (see the section “Shading” beginning on page 92).
Text frames
You insert a text frame with the Object > New Text Frame command.
A text frame is filled out the same way a text field is filled out (see the preceding
section): you simply position the text cursor in the field and start typing.
The difference between a text frame and a text field: A text frame, like all other
types of frames, has a fixed position on the page. Thus, it does not move when you
add or delete text above it. The normal body text is automatically formatted so that
it breaks at the boundaries of the frame – it “flows” around the frame.
You will find information about text fields in the preceding section. Additional
information about text frames is given in the section “Text frames” beginning on
page 254.
Checkboxes
You insert a checkbox with the Object > New Forms Object > Checkbox command.
Checkboxes can be used in forms for yes/no entries. The box is checked to represent
“yes”; when unchecked it means “no”.
