Defining A Comb Element Object - NUANCE OMNIFORM 2 Reference

Defining a Comb Element Object

Choose Object Definition... in the Format menu to open the Comb
Element Definition dialog box when a comb element is selected.
To define a comb element:
1 Select left and right border measurements under Border Height.
This sets the left and right border height of each element. You
might, for example, select Half to use the popular half-border
height often seen on forms.
2 Select Prefill element to place a hyphen in the selected element.
This is useful for phone numbers and other hyphenated
numbers. You can select this element in design view and
change it to another character such as a parenthesis.
3 Type a number in the Length text box.
This tells OmniForm how many characters to allow in the
selected element before moving to the next element. In some
countries, for example, the length of the area code element in a
phone number is 3.
4 Click OK to apply the changes.
