Open A New, Blank Form - NUANCE OMNIFORM 2 Reference

Pre-Organization
It is a good idea to draw a rough draft of a form before you begin to
design it, complete with all fields and graphic elements. This makes the
design process go faster and you will be less likely to have to go back
and redo portions of the form. In this tutorial, the form pictured on the
previous page can serve as your rough draft.
You do not have to design the form exactly as it is pictured. Learn the
form-design concepts presented here and arrange the form as you
please. Use your own graphic files if you have any.

Open a New, Blank Form

The Page Setup dialog box appears.

OmniForm Form with the name Job Tracking.
