Formatting
This section explains the various instructional and formatting
conventions used in this manual.
Most screenshots in this manual were taken in Windows 95. Your dialog
boxes and windows may look slightly different if you are using
Windows NT or Windows 3.1. For example, dialog box titles in
Windows 95 appear in the top left of the box. Dialog box titles in
Windows NT and Windows 3.1 appear in the top middle of the box.
Both screenshot versions are displayed when they differ significantly.
Instructions appropriate to each version of Windows are given where
necessary — for example, double-clicking an icon in a program group
(Windows 3.1 and NT) versus using the Taskbar (Windows 95). Any
instruction specific to Windows NT and 3.1 appears immediately after
the Windows 95 instruction.
OmniForm has both online help and context-sensitive help. Use the
commands in the Help menu to find information on OmniForm topics
and on using Help itself.
Click the Help button in the OmniForm standard toolbar to turn your
cursor into a question mark icon. Click any command, button, or portion
of the window to open context-sensitive help for that topic.
Two formatting conventions are used throughout the manual.
Italicized Text
• Labeled buttons, menu commands, dialog box text, and any text
in an onscreen form are italicized; for example, "Choose Open in
the File menu."
Menu titles, icon names, dialog box names, and unlabeled
buttons are not italicized.
• A new term may be italicized the first time it is used; for example,
"This is a fill text field." These terms and others are defined in the
Glossary section of the manual.
• Variable entries are italicized; for example, "The entry n must be
between 4 and 18."
