Customize the Form

Format Objects
As a general rule, forms are easier to read if you use the same font format
for all the text objects. Point size and style can be varied according to
what you decide looks best and is most logical for the form you create.
On the form shown on page 3-21, all text objects are 9-point Arial bold
with the exception of the text objects under Job Type. These four objects
are entries under a header and it could be confusing if they had the same
formatting as the header.
See "Formatting Text" on page 6-35 for detailed information on
changing text and font attributes.
Align the Objects
Use the Align commands in the Format menu or the Arrange toolbar to
line up selected objects left, right, center, and so forth.
Use the Snap to Grid command in the Tools menu to line fields up
precisely along a grid. Choose Grid Settings... in the Tools menu to set the
size of the grid. Turn this command off if you do not want fields
snapping to a grid.
Selecting Objects
There are several ways to select multiple objects.
• The Select Special... command in the Edit menu lets you select all
objects of a certain type at the same time. This way, you can apply
the same formatting to all selected objects instead of one by one.
• Shift-click to select multiple objects.
• Hold down the mouse button and drag the cursor around all
objects to select.
An object only has to be touching the selection area to be selected.
Remember to fully enclose table and comb objects unless you
want individual elements and cells selected.
