YUMPU automatically turns print PDFs into web optimized ePapers that Google loves.

To change the order: Select one of the items in the list and click on one of the<br />

small arrows to the right of the list to move the item up or down.<br />

Lines (max.)<br />

Available only for dropdown list frames. Determines the maximum number of<br />

lines to be displayed when the list is opened.<br />

Use additional inner margins<br />

Available only for dropdown lists. By default, the size of a dropdown list is<br />

calculated in a way that their text content exactly fits in. If you check this option,<br />

some small inner margins are added, making the object slightly larger.<br />

3D effect<br />

If you check this option, the borders of the list are drawn with a 3D effect.<br />

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

size, color, etc.) for the list items.<br />

Dropdown list frames<br />

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

Dropdown Frame command.<br />

The usage and behavior of a dropdown list frame correspond to those for a<br />

dropdown list (see the previous section).<br />

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

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

The 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 />

Labels and groupboxes<br />

Besides the forms objects described above, there are two additional types of forms<br />

objects that are intended not to be filled in, but to be used merely for captions:<br />

Labels<br />

Any caption or legend that should appear in the form can be entered in a label.<br />
