Setting Form Properties
Setting Form Colors
In addition to setting up options for form properties, colors, and printing order, you
can access other utilities within Drake using the Setup feature.
The Form Properties setup function allows you to change the form description, pricing
information, and numbers of copies to print for a form within a return. To access
this feature in Enhanced mode, select a document and click Setup > Form Properties.
Colors can be customized in both Basic and Enhanced modes.
Enhanced
Mode
The Form Color, Background Color, and Text (Data) Color can each be changed in
Enhanced mode. Drake default colors for these three items, as shown in Figure 6-14,
are black, white, and red, respectively.
Figure 6-14: Customizable colors in Enhanced mode
To change colors in Enhanced mode, select Setup > Form Colors. In the View Mode
Color Selection dialog box, click a color. After selecting a basic or custom color from
the color palette, click OK. To revert to the Drake default colors, click Reset in the
View Mode Color Selection dialog box.
Basic Mode
Because Basic mode uses the multicolor cascade of forms, it offers more opportunity
for color configuration on the screen. In addition to changing the form, background,
and text (data) colors, you can customize the following items in Basic mode:
• View Mode (View mode only)
• Print Mode (Print mode only)
• EF message page
• Notes page
