The object resizes to fit the cell exactly.
You can convert any selected object to another type of object. You might,
for example, want to convert objects in table cells to check boxes.
Be careful when converting objects in an existing form. If the old object
contained information, you will permanently lose that object's
information in every record.
You can also convert objects that were not defined properly during
import; for example, OmniForm might define a line with space above it
as a fill text field. You could convert this to a line.
To convert a selected object:
1
Choose Convert... in the Edit menu.
The Convert dialog box appears.
2
Select an object type in the Convert Object(s) To list and click OK.
The object is converted.
Use the Select Special... command in the Edit menu to select all objects of
a specific type.
This section describes the OmniForm scrapbook and how to use it.
The scrapbook is a convenient place to store frequently used or complex
objects. Objects stored in the scrapbooks are called scraps. You can copy
these scraps into any form. You can use one of the several scrapbook
files provided with OmniForm or create your own.
