Value<br />

Here you can specify the initial state of the checkbox, whether it should appear<br />

checked or unchecked in the document.<br />

3D effect<br />

If you check this option, the checkbox is drawn with a 3D effect.<br />

With checkbox frames you can also specify the character formatting (font, size,<br />

color, etc.) for the text.<br />

Checkbox frames<br />

You insert a checkbox frame with the Object > New Forms Object > Checkbox<br />

Frame command.<br />

The usage and behavior of a checkbox frames correspond to those for checkboxes<br />

(see the previous section).<br />

The difference: A checkbox frame, like all types of frames, has a fixed position on<br />

the page. Thus, it does not move when you insert or delete text above it. The<br />

normal body text is automatically formatted in such a way that it breaks at the<br />

boundaries of the frame – it “flows” around the frame.<br />

Dropdown lists<br />

You insert a dropdown list with the Object > New Forms Object > Dropdown<br />

command.<br />

You encounter dropdown lists in many dialog boxes. They offer several alternatives,<br />

from which you can select only one. Such lists are ideal for forms, since they<br />

reduce the amount of typing needed when forms are filled out and prevent typing<br />

errors.<br />

Usage of dropdown lists<br />

To open a list, you click on the small arrow to the right. Now you can select an<br />

entry by clicking on it.<br />
