These instructions assume that the cursor is already in a field.
The way information is displayed in a field depends on the current form
language selection and the object definition. See "International Settings"
on page 3-7 and "Defining Objects" on page 5-16 for more information.
As you begin to enter a word in a fill text object, OmniForm will
automatically complete the word. This works only when there is
previously filled information that matches the word you are entering.
This option also works for dates, times, and pop-up lists.
