Creating a Fill Graphic Object
Defining Objects
16 Designing a Form
To create a square table, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
Use a fill graphic object as a way to illustrate text (such as a diagram), or
as a design element (such as a company logo). You can only fill a fill
graphic in fill view.
A fill graphic can be different for every copy of a form in your file
because it is filled in fill view. If you want the same graphic to appear in
every copy of the form, then create a graphic object instead.
To create a fill graphic object:
1
Click the Fill Graphic tool in the drawing toolbar.
2
Draw the fill graphic object.
To create a square, hold down the Shift key as you draw.
This section describes the options in the Object Definition dialog box
and how they affect a selected object. The dialog box varies according to
the selected object and form language. Each definable object is described
in this section in the order it appears in the drawing toolbar.
When you define an object you can:
• Give it a unique name that is useful when sorting or searching
records, arranging tab order, or defining calculations.
• Provide filling options such as a list of possible entries and help
messages that appear in fill view.
• Set validation options such as whether a field must be filled or
can be skipped.
See the previous section, "Creating Objects" on page 5-6 to learn how to
create objects. See "International Settings" on page 3-7 for information
on selecting a form language.
To define an object:
1
Select a fillable object on your form, a fillable object in a table
cell, or a comb element in design view.
You cannot define nonfillable objects such as lines.
